The great debate has always been should you buy or build your own PC? Its always been known to be cheaper to build your own PC but with hardware cost lowering is that still the case today? Lets start off by taking a look inside my own custom PC.
Buy or build is a debate that has been going on forever and in most cases with the tech community building is always going to be better than buying. I would be one that agrees fully but there is also a case that can be made for buying a PC.
Personally I’ll always build my own PC as I have fun and very passionate about doing so. I never had store built desktop before and my first machine was one that I went to a local expo and bought all the parts there. The knowledge that you gain from building it yourself is invaluable and knowledge that everyone should have and at the very least the basics. There is definitely time and energy that goes into it but in the end of the day the satisfaction of building if yourself is worth it.
As far as a cost factor is concerned that’s where buy or build can get a little grey. PC hardware has dropped much lower in prices these days and store bough machines are coming built with much better hardware than in the past. The advantage where you save with cost comes with building a high performance machine. Building one instead of buying from high end companies such as Falcon Northwest or Alienware you should see the savings there. But if you are building for an average users a store bought one may be better in that scenarios. You also have to remember that you have to gauge the level of technical knowledge the person you are getting a PC for. If they have a decent amount of knowledge, patient and looking to spend a decent amount of money then a custom PC would be the way to go but if they are the opposite you may want to consider that store built PC due to the warranties attached and a way for them to get support in the event you are not available.
You can go back and forth with buy or build. Personally I will always build a PC but there are come scenarios where the store built pc is the better idea.

The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is a tool that has been around since Windows 2000. It’s a way to create custom applets for various aspects for managing your computers. It may be be used locally or remotely. The nice thing is that if you use a control center applet frequently, you can use the MMC to create a quick launch icon on your desktop for it.
