Why choose computer parts by yourself?

Choosing computer parts by yourself reaps a few benefits. Below includes the few benefits of choosing the computer parts yourself.

You decide how your PC looks

First of all, choosing computer parts yourself gives you the freedom to pick out whichever part that strikes your fancy. For example, you could choose a particular casing which you would absolutely want your PC to be built in, or you would like to use a particular brand's PC parts. This mainly contributes to the overall look and feel of the PC that you will build.

Easy adjustment of specs to budget

For different people, when deciding on a new build everyone has their own budget as well as different choices in where to allocate their budget on. For some people, they might want to go all out for their CPU cooler while saving in RAM or either other way. By choosing the parts yourself, you yourself have the freedom to allocate your budget accordingly to your requirements.

Educational value

Coming up with a PC build plan takes time, with all the different shapes and sizes of PC parts which manufacturers offer. To come up with a good PC build plan, there is a lot of pre-buying work to do. This includes comparing different product specs, browsing product reviews, reading or watching a PC build guide (which we have one here). In this process, we engage in logic thinking, information processing etc. which essentially helps us to "exercise" our brain. In the end, we not just only have grown smarter, we would have also gained a PC which works great and make every pennny we spend worth it.

Future upgradability

Another advantage of choosing computer parts yourself is that you can leave room for upgrades. When you're coming up with a PC build plan, you can plan ahead and leave sufficient expansion room for your needs, for example buying a big case which has empty hard drive spaces in case you need another hard drive; or getting the newest motherboard which supports future CPU upgrades. In other words, you are "future-proofing" your computer for the upcoming years that you've planned.
