Silent-Runner
Noli timere messorem
Not necessarily. I got a killer system myself (mine has an i9 in it) for 2k when it would have cost me $2,500 about a year ago by going pre-built. This is the first time ever that prebuilt is cheaper than building it yourself, as that is what I used to do.
As long as vid cards are at an insane price, prebuilt is the only way to save money on a complete system.
prices are still insane, we've had a prebuilt system at ALDI for 3,999€ which was sold out in minutes (as all the previous ones too).
