Can you get a GOOD gaming PC at Best Buy?

Im glad to see prebuilts are improving and showing that their buying power means manufacturing on mass(economy of scale) with oem parts pricing is cheaper/equal to doing yourself when they actually try.

 

Yeah.  When you think about it, prebuilts should actually be cheaper than any machine you can build yourself for those reasons - building lot of the same exact system reduces cost, big manufacturers like dell, hp, etc. can probably get better deals on things like windows licences and even GPUs, etc - it's kind of ridiculous that for the longest time now it's been cheaper to do it yourself.  It makes no sense

Just get a Windows 10 Key from Kinguin and call it a day. You could even overlock it using BCLK tuning and  spend the bucks you saved on a better GPU.

 

Edit: Got the wrong motherboard first.
