This is not an easy task, but it is very useful and profitable.
1. Full control
All components of branded computers usually belong to approximately the same price segment: they put a budget video card for a budget processor, the most expensive for a top processor, and so on. When assembling a PC on your own, you can choose those components that you need.
For example, someone does not need a powerful graphics card, but they need the latest generation Intel i7. And someone, on the contrary, needs a top-end graphics chip, and the processor is not so important. As a result, finding the optimal combination of components among the pre-assembled options can be a daunting task - it's easier to buy the components yourself.
Also, by manually assembling a PC, you can choose for yourself which parts of which manufacturers will be in your car. In branded computers, components can be replaced with counterparts from other companies due to supply problems, better deals, and so on.
2. Savings
No matter how cheap a ready-made computer is, it is in any case more expensive than the sum of the prices of its components. Self-assembly allows you not to pay extra for such work at the plant - and this saves at least several thousand rubles.
Moreover, you can choose which components are cheaper and which ones are more expensive. And in what stores: you can at least buy every detail from a separate retailer.
3. Useful knowledge
By studying articles and videos about assembling PCs by hand, you gain valuable skills and knowledge. What is connected to what, which component is responsible for what, how the components should be installed. The computer ceases to be an unknown miracle of technology, working thanks to magic.
If suddenly the PC starts to junk, then thanks to these skills, you can at least roughly understand which part is causing the failure. This will allow you to better explain the problem to the master or even fix it yourself. Plus, upgrading your computer becomes easier because you know what parts are needed and how to install them.
4. Lack of preinstalled programs
On branded PCs, programs are often immediately implemented that companies put by agreement with business partners or to promote their own services. And most of these apps are completely useless to the end user. At the same time, they take up space on the drive, and often also start automatically when the computer is turned on, clogging up the RAM. You have to catch them and remove or reset the system to its original state.
With a self-assembled PC, there are no such problems. The user himself installs the system and chooses which programs should be on his computer.
5. Long warranty
Pre-assembled PCs are rarely warranted for more than one or two years. If, after its expiration, one of the components breaks down, then you will have to buy new ones.
By purchasing the components separately, you can get much better deals. So, the warranty period for motherboards and video cards is on average three years, for power supplies - two. And on the ramps there are practically lifetime guarantees - from 60 to 997 months.
