Guest MAJ.Spartan-S63=US= Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Have you considered custom building or do you want a prebuilt PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.GEN.Darmine Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yes if you would prefer to build your own. It would be preferred, you can use the old parts and upgrade what you need. So keep the HHD/SSD, CD Rom, PSU, Case ect. Then upgrade your video card, MB, CPU and MEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LCpl.StayDown64=US= Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thank you, SFC and GEN for your replies. I've decided you take your advice and build my own. Thank you, again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem. I'd compare specs and prices between the pre-built and self-built and see if it's worth it. Building or buying is very much a personal decision and sometimes (because of the deals the OEMs get with Microsoft) it can be slightly cheaper to buy a prebuilt computer because the company that builds the PC gets a Windows license for pennies on the dollar. Definitely do some research and let us know if you need any help. We're happy to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
