Prebuilt desktops (though customized) are worth it if you have no clue at all as to what you are doing and don't have anyone to do it for you for free or super cheap.
Otherwise, build-your-own is the way to go. well my friend seems to know what hes doing but i have no idea lol :I just those best buy package deals seem so cheap :P then again i dont understand the internal stuff that much so bleh Dx
No, for the love of god, please don't get one of those pre-built store machines by best-buy or walmart. but they come with a monitor and cheap :P where else do you get prebuilt ones? lol
Online. There are quite a few sites that have pre-built packages or the ability to choose each piece that's in it and they build it (though this is fairly pricey). What is at wal-mart/best buy is exactly what you are paying for, a cheap piece of crap.

It's just *** guys, not like you've never seen them before. Actually correcting my statement some may have never seen them irl, but I'm sure you all have seen them on the internet. Must be convenient for you then!
No need to rub it in!

there's nothing wrong with being a virgin is there O_o? Nothing at all, unless you're over 20.
Sex is like a support job, if you don't have it by 20, people laugh at you.

If you have to buy a premade, do it from newegg... just stay away from CyberPC. If you have a friend that can build one, even better.

Best Buy tends to be overpriced... You can still get a good system for a good price there, but you have to do your own shopping rather than let those idiots who use WoW as a benchmark for everything, tell you what system you need.
I got mine from there, it's a refurbished Asus (will probably be my last pre-built, my computer bit the dust out of the blue and I wanted a new computer that day) I've had it for a couple years now and it still runs great and can handle just about anything I throw at it.

Edit: At a reasonable price.
Of the two IBuyPower tends to get better reviews.

I get everything from Newegg when I can plan ahead.. If I discovered I need more thermal paste after I've taken everything apart or like I mentioned above my computer just dying out of the blue, then I'll have to turn to other sources.

Odds are you're putting way to much stress on the GPU and causing it to run hot which will cause deterioration over time.

They keep your CPU cooler thus less wear and tear from heat.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
