I'm interested in some feedback on whether you folks that have been at this a long time would recommend that a relative hardware novice (pretty handy but I've never built a computer) buy a preassembled factory unit or try to build one myself..???
I've spent a lot of time on the Internet trying to educate myself and the opinions vary from "any reasonably handy person can do this" to "always pay someone to do it".
I just want something with good processing speed and reasonable graphics. I'm not a 3-D gamer or video editor. So, what I would like to know is whether I should buy a preassembled unit or buy a bare bones and flesh it out or just take the plunge and buy all the parts (and use the do it yourself stuff on the Internet) to assemble it myself....??
Thanks for the input...
