Build it. It's easy if you read up on it, you will get a faster machine, and it will cost less. Doesn't take much reading to build one. 6-7 weeks ago I knew NOTHING about building a pc. 3 weeks ago I build mine and its running perfectly. So my advice to you, stick around, read up, find guides, ask questions, and dont rush through it. It took me 3-4 days to build mine(i could do it in 30-60 mins now). But I also had to wait 3 days on my video card before I could start system, lol.
