yeah. will will get alot more for your money by going the DIY option at SLS.
Do state your budget for your gaming rig and they willl help come out a spec list for you

 

[Dearboy87]

Customise is the best.

 

[bhtan83]

LOL give them $1.9k and u dun even get a ssd and they give u gtx 640... bloody good price lol...

for ppl who doesnt know how to troubleshoot a pc i guess thats the best option.

otherwise u will face a lot of frustration for new guys to troubleshoot the problem.

if u dun mind learning, then state a budget here. whether u need monitor, os and other peripherals?

u can definitely get a MUCH better spec for $1.9k.

 

[Nostalgiaa]

You're definitely better off going custom with that amount of money.

any DIY computer is much better or/and cheaper than those ready-build pc..

 

[muddle]

Prebuilt pc from branded company....you pay more for warranty and you will not get the level of performance from similar priced diy pc. As others have mentioned, you will get significant performance gain from diy systems. The only troublesome part for diy is going to the respective distributors for warranty.

 

[shadow84]

I tink pre-built PC only got at most 1-2 yrs warranty, and need pay extra for 3rd yr? Almost all of DIY parts have at least 3 yrs warranty, some even up to 7 yrs or lifetime.

 

[XiangKaPager]

i rather diy a com. if com have any issue. just google it. sure will have solution. last resort come here ask. i'm sure the people here will be kind enough to help out.

 

[Jereldswk]

[undead102]

Wow seriously the specs for the acer computer is really a rip off no offense. Even if come with on site support or other whatever support is really ridiculous. 1.9k rig only come with 640gt?

 

[Jereldswk]
