Should I Build or Buy a Gaming PC? - DIY in 5 Ep 184

[@jameswubbolt7787]

Pre-built then upgrade as I need.Great show you never disappoint.

[@kirbo-db6mw]

Just build your own you save a lot of money while getting better cooling and hardware so you PC does not sound like an elephant dieing

[@steven.events]

The research, DIY, and met expectations are most satisfying. I'll always build. 🔧

[@redbloodedamerican2346]

I think I'll build my next one as well. Much cheaper

[@tensinkano6888]

Spunking all over her glasses would be waaaaaaay more satisfying

[@bmiller949]

I pick my parts at Microcenter and have them put it together. It is a time saver vs building yourself and the time of setting up the work environment for the build.

[@BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

*Building is thee best way to learn about Desktops and also you putting in your own parts and not having to worry about update ALL the time. I built mine 2 years ago and still works AMAZINLY*

[@redbloodedamerican2346]

What do you mean you don't have to worry about updates all the time?

[@BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

@@redbloodedamerican2346 as in you don't have to buy a new computer every 4-5 years, you choose when too upgrade, you don't have to deal with subpar internals and you can build a PC in any price range

[@redbloodedamerican2346]

@@BlackapinoTheTechGuy I haven't had to buy that soon with a bought pc.

[@BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

@@redbloodedamerican2346 but others do, some buy one because theirs's was 4yrs old, but some do

[@redbloodedamerican2346]

@@BlackapinoTheTechGuy but that doesn't technically mean they have to. I thought you were trying to say you wouldn't have to update software. Since you said "update". I get what you're saying now though.

My dad is a Shakespeare fanatic. He would be proud of that intro even though he doesn't know much about computers.

I love getting this video as an ad on my gaming PC that I built

[@TedoMD]

I built my computer right before residency. The inside isn’t pretty, but it worked the first time I turned it on. Got each component on a discount and it cost me around $600 + 1 day to build versus $1000 prebuilt. Since then, I’ve added an 1TB SSD and new ram. Still able to play all the games coming out nowadays.

[@jeffreyschwarz3699]

I tried building my own computer. All it does is find HSN.

[@iwasadeum]

Honestly, always built my PCs/friends/family PCs myself. But with my last one, I got lazy and went with NZXT. Part prices were freaking crazy during Covid, and NZXT was still offering MSRP on parts plus the $99 build fee. Worth it to get parts at MSRP and a very clean, professional build. If I could've got parts (GPU in particular) for MSRP, definitely would've built it myself. But if another family member comes to me wanting a PC, I'm going to build one out on NZXT and just charge them $100 to reclaim the build fee (usually have built them for free + parts cost, because I enjoy it).

[@tchads_57]

Either way, be sure to check for upgradability. Better to pay now than have a doorstop later. A piece of advice I got when I ordered my first PC “Just know that between the time you order and when you receive it, it will already be obsolete.”

[@ryansraven]

Back in May/2022, I had to buy a prebuilt. Building my own cost 3X more. Computer components still cost waaay to much in Canada 🇨🇦.

[@M00SHTY]

i built my own pc once. Im glad i did it but I think I will buy from now on.

[@redbloodedamerican2346]

I've always bought pre-assembled. I want to built at least one

[@ronm6585]

Thank you. I prefer to build my own.

[@PE4Doers]

Ms. Hershberger, I shared with 8 friends. I always do what ever you ask us to do 😍

[@jeff15]

Perfect!!! Thanks 😊

[@djsnowpdx]

If you watch Gamers Nexus you know how difficult it is for system integrators to get the details right as well as a custom builder. On the other hand, I lost an evening last week trying to rewire my power cables and replace my power supply because I could not properly access the 8-pin CPU header deeply recessed in my case. I’m fairly resigned I’ll have to take the motherboard out of the case to finish the job. I dislike building, but I have an amazing friend who is willing to do the parts I can’t see or don’t have the dexterity to do, and that alone makes DIY worth it to me. Chasing a silent system I’m also incredibly picky about my part selection, and never satisfied with the balance of GPU power and silence (and price and thermals of course). The only mainstream manufacturer who has computer acoustics right is Apple, and they’re a non-starter for gaming, so I buy my computers from Apple, and build my gaming computer myself. :)

[@roachxyz]

Build! That way you have exactly what you need.

[@Chris-ql3rx]

I prefer a hybrid, picking my parts and giving a friend 100 bucks to assemble

[@daveandbambico5548]

Please tell me if it's me or not but I find it fun to just build a PC not only the adrenaline rush if it does work but also you know putting the parts in it's fun to me

[@stephensommers4628]

Buy for me. My mind just isn't wired to be able to build my own.

[@FLYSKY1]

my first and second pc i've bought as a complete package, my third pc i'm using right now i've build 'coz i can put it up to my personal needs.

[@AintPopular]

Let someone else make it for me so i dont go through the troubleshoot headache

[@jimvt1959]

You are awesome Trisha

[@jbasasa]

Well both for me cause two reasons. One, check how much components in your country (not joking) on building a PC which is a nightmare?! And two, I like to get my PC done for me when I need it but they're like one with price. But I much drowned into SFF builds. and gaming laptops mostly

[@markc6714]

Oh Trisha 💕💕💕

[@davidsnidertechandmore1940]

DIY because you feel really happy after you are done billing the computer

[@ralfhagen5210]

Great video!

[@willfishing5605]

I built my first PC at 38 years old... Anyone can do it! Easy and fun!

[@BALDOGON]

I prefer to build!💯

[@jeffreyschwarz3699]

Unless you're an expert, it's better to buy.

[@ronaldareyes9899]

Hi 👋 Trisha.

[@toshomni9478]

Great video. Depending on where you live, you can also rent to own gaming PCs from Nocompromisegaming and probably other companies like it.

[@mikey510]

I built my own. Then I built my girlfriends. I always want new parts and im itching to build another pc for anyone that asks. Its a problem! But it's so much fun!

[@TheCmpepsi]

At one minute i realized i should just buy my computer

[@kirbo-db6mw]

Most prebuilts fail at something and are cursed with the spirit of alma also they awful psu, awful cooling, awful build quality, and a crapton of bloatware, I could go on for 8000 years telling you the reasons not to buy a prebuilt and just build it your self because it is easier than figuring out what 1+2 is and it costs a third of the price of the prebuilt with WAY BETTER HARDWARE or just pay someone else to build your PC it is just really expensive to pay someone else though

[@javiercampos196]

I know many who can build a pc...but none who can make one.

[@Evil_pinata]

I have a hard time believing this girl is 40. The man upstairs really took his time with her.

[@wtracy555]

I always build my own pc

[@breakupgoogle]

Trish!

[@pino_de_vogel]

NEVER EVER buy a pc when you can build it. Better quality, better performance, lower price, better repairability. Do however inform yourself but theres plenty of prople to help you on the web.

[@RadTechDad]

If you're going to recommend used video cards, you should at least share a warning about purchasing burnt-out GPUs from mining farms.

you should buy a console
