So this is a great topic for people looking to build a gaming pc and that are on a tight budget. The website that I will be choosing the Pre-built computer from and sourcing the parts from will be also from the same website.

The Pre-built pc for this build I have choosen is an i7 budget build. Its a great computer for the price the specs are as follows.Link

Intel 8th Generation Core i7-8700 CPU.
MSI B360 BAZOOKA DDR4 Intel 8th Gen Gaming Motherboard.
MSI GTX 1060 OVERCLOCKED 3GB GDDR5 OC Edition DX12 Graphics Card.
8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM.
500W 80+ power supply.
EVETECH RUSH RGB Tempered Glass GAMING CASE.
6x RGB Fans + Dual Tempered Glass.
250GB SSD.
Integrated 8 CH HD Sound Card.

The total price of this build is R14999 and $1190.39 USD. These are good components but what I will be doing is sourcing every part and see what these parts add up to and see if buying a pre-built computer is worth it.

Thermaltake View 21 Tempered Glass Edition Mid-Tower Gaming CaseLink Price: R999.00

250GB SSDLink Price: R999

Integrated 8 CH HD Sound CardLink Price: R599.00

Windows 10 Price: R1500

I changed the case because they do not sell the cases that they are using. The total of buying everything its self is R 14 442 without windows 10 but with windows 10 is R15942. So we can conclude that buying all the parts will save you around R500. If you know how to build a computer and have a cracked version of windows but I would suggest going with building your own because you can watch a 10min youtube video and do it yourself. Watch this video below and your already one step closer to building your own computer.
