Building a gaming PC will almost always get you the most bang for your buck—not to mention teach you a lot about PCs in the process. But as someone who has built and bought countless PCs (for myself, family friends), I know the build it yourself route isn't for everyone.
Sometimes you'd rather have something that works right out of the box, with a number you can call if your system doesn't boot properly.
