When building a PC you get to choose each individual
component with care, ensuring that only the best
quality products from reputable companies are used.
That means that you get to research and evaluate each
component in turn, leaving you free to select the brand
names that you personally trust. Selecting the very best
quality components ensures system stability overtime,
meaning that your DIY PC should last a lot longer than
a branded machine.

Many DIY PC enthusiasts
will tell you that the
sheer enjoyment of
designing and
building your own
PC is enough to
make the venture
more than worthwhile, but the
reality is that there are real
advantages too.

Generally speaking the components used by DIY
builders are of better quality than those selected by
OEM PC vendors who are forced to be as competitive
as possible to preserve margins. This often results in a
narrower and perhaps more dated choice of features.
