This post will cover which Companys are the best for buying pre-built pc's and which ones you should stay away from and why. 

 

(NOTE): It is usually always the cheaper option to just build the pc for yourself. If anyone knows of a pre-built pc company that isnt on the list please tell me down below. I will be comparing only desktop pc's, laptop price differences might vary. Remember most pre-builts have alot less warranty time compared to buying the part yourself. 

 

-STAY AWAY FROM-

 

1. www.Xidax.com 

 

I built a custom desktop and the price came to $902. 

 

I built the exact same dekstop on pcpartpicker.com for $529. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/MBT8RB

 

Do you really want to pay someone $373 to build your pc when you could do it yourself for free?

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

2. www.ironsidecomputers.com 

 

I built a desktop on the website for $879 

 

Built the exact same thing in pcpartpicker.com for $623 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xHQtmG

 

I don't think paying $256 for someone to build your pc is fair. 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

3. www.digitalstorm.com

 

Built a desktop on the website for $842

 

Built the exact same thing for $604 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZCKY6h

 

I don't think paying $220 for someone to build your pc is fair. 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

-COULD BUY FROM-

 

1. www.cyberpowerpc.com 

 

Built a desktop on the website and it came to $902. 

 

Built same thing on pcpartpicker.com and it came too $985 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Y3vTbv

 

This actually surprised me. Usually building it yourself is cheaper. 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. www.ibuypower,com 

 

Built a desktop on the website and it came to $837

 

Built the exact same thing on pcpartpicker.com for $745 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/yVg2K8

 

In my opinion $112 is a good price for someone to build it for you. 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. www.gladiatorpc.co.uk

 

Built a desktop on the website and it came to 749 euros.

 

Built the same thing on uk.pcparkpicker.com for 725 euros. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/W4wNkL

 

Paying someone 24 euros to build your pc is a good deal.

And if you're trying to get a comprehensive price list,
you should post the parts list so we know what you're looking at, too.
