Do you prefer to build PCs, such as gaming ones, or buy them?

Build!

Build hands down. If you have any questions let me know and maybe I can help 👍 PC gaming is the best. Buying prebuilt will make you overpay by a ton.

Buy built ones!

PCs are for work! Back at it slaves! *whip noise*

building is definitely more fun. i love the research done before buying, digging into the specs for all the individual components.

Build if it's for gaming, buy one from your local walmart if you are just doing email and Internet searches...

Build of possible, or if you are lazy you can go to your local computer store and see about getting a refurbished work PC geared for gaming. I used an HP Envy as a base for my PC which can run Crysis at Ultra, only putting 400$ into a new CPU and GPU

If you aren't sure what you want in terms of case, power supply, etc. Buy a cheap PC and upggrade it. This allows you to be familiar with the PC and pay less.

Be careful with this though. Some ,if not most, cheaper ones are not upgradeable and make sure they use the "brand name" parts (for psu, motherboard, ssd/hdd)such as Corsair, NZXT, Coolermaster, Asus, Western Digital, and Seagate. Also if you do buy try places like CyberpowerPC, Digital Storm, and ibuypower.

Well, in some cases yes. But most cases will be compatible, besides the really overpowered hardware. I have an HP Envy case and hardware I installed that can run 95% of games at 1080p full HD. The other 5% at 720p.

The moral of the story is just do some research and build your computer.

DinoPC is quite a cool place they have different ranges with the ability to upgrade each single component within the PC you choose.

They are expensive at Dino, though.
