Hi PCmasterracers,

Im looking to get join your glorious race in the coming months in preparation of the incoming civ 6 and DoW 3. my current laptop is at the end of its useful gaming life( it was never meant to be a gaming computer but has performed very admirably). And i was curious if it is cheaper to build your own PC, or buy one from a site that lets you choose all the parts that go in and they build it for you. I know by default that will be more pricey but the heart of the question is are the free upgrades, extra stuff that sites like cyber power offer when going through and selecting your parts a better deal then can be achieved buying each piece individually and doing it yourself?

Thanks for the help!
