Comparison

After buying, building and now using my computer and knowing the quality of my computer. I was going to compare it to a pre-assembled computer.


My Computer:
My computer cost $508.41. It has quad core processor, 4GB of Ram, card reader, 120 mm blue LED fan, mid tower case with clear side, Asus pro motherboard, and 680 watt SLI ready SATA ready power supply.

Pre-Built Computer
This pre-assembled computer costs $1,399.99. For $891.58 you get the same processor I have, same amount of memory, an optical drive, 250 GB hard drive, card reader, Windows Vista Ultimate, mouse and keyboard, and gaming mid tower, and a 550 watt power supply. Also a very nice graphics card.


Conclusion

I think that my computer is a better buy because it has the same and better features. But the pre-assembled does come with keyboard and mouse. But if you have already owned a computer you will probably have a keyboard and mouse. The only better thing is the really awesome graphics card that comes with it. The graphics card is a NVIDIA 9800GTX 512MB PCI-Express Video Card. It can play the highest end games. So I think that building a computer is less expensive then buying pre made ones. You will have to know a bit about computers though. That’s why it’s cheaper to build over buy. Also because of the labor of building it.
