Well Thing is You could recreate the build and save yourself around £150-200 (Or even more) I got a keyboard and Mouse and Monitor with My build That I'm looking at so far!
and it's still cheaper then Pcs, Mate It's really not that Hard if you get May your Dad to help you or your older brother or something All you have to do is watch a Few Tutorials On youtube And when you get the Parts and don't know how to do something Read the Manual all you will need pretty much is a Screw driver, Lots of 11 - 12 year olds do it too!



But remember if your not comfortable doing It Get Pcs To do it for You, they do a Great Job too!

Peripherals are definitely cheaper elsewhere but the build is not significantly more expensive than buying components. I had a couple of issues with my build such as a faulty GPU and PCS fixed it in less than a week. Technical support is excellent and you get prompt responses from any problems you may experience. I spent more than £2000 on my build and I'd not feel comfortable putting the pieces together and making sure everything works well as a novice. From looking at the additional notes included in my build I can see several tests are run before it is dispatch.

building a pc is quite easily do-able, but if I were you I would ask somebody who has done it before to help you. another thing you could do is find a crap, used pc on ebay for 20 quid and take it apart,see how it works etc. I found one at school and they just let me take it apart, if I hadn't taken it it would have gone to the tip anyway so it was a good find. what I'm saying is get a good idea before you get pc components all over your room with no clue where to start.

[keynes]

can anyone confirm how much more expensive it is for them to build?

Depends on what you want to put in. I'd use SCAN or another retailer to compare prices of components.

great spec, couldnt fault it,

i'd defo buy from pcs, you get the excellent tech support/fault finding and rma procedure whereas if you build ya self, you will not get any support whatsoever, many sellers will turn a blind say or tell you that they don't believe that whatever they sold you is faulty and often tell you that something else is faulty.

never heard of one... should fit into one of the HDD bays but if somebody else could confirm that it would possibly be for the best

Your build looks very good, the components used by PCS are all top quality
and the build you have selected will handle anything for a few years,
so no reason why it wont last.
I was intending building my own rig and did a lot of research,but at the end of the day realised it's just not worth it,unless it's some kind of ambition you have.

it's admittedly, something i'm going to put on my college application for programming, but is a lot cheaper as well. on my build i will save £300

I think its great to build ya own pc, but ya also need to think about the warranty and tech support that PCS offers that you will not gain from any other company, especially a online seller.

 

[vanthus]

why did you decide that it wasnt worth it?

Mainly because I searched for prices of the same components and it ended up £50 more expensive,
not saying that cant be bettered though,also what Tom is saying.
