I'm trying to find a good prebuilt gaming PC and I'm really starting to hate reviews. Every time I find a computer I like, I find a bunch of reviews saying how bad it is. (mastodon.world)

I was always told that if you're building your very first machine, buy the core components from the same firm.

That way if something is screwy, it's the firms job to help you fix it. Otherwise you're not sure if it's the ram, cpu or motherboard.

After you gain confidence and will have spare parts to self diagnose for future builds.

There is something really satisfying about doing your own build. Back in the day, used to be a side gig for something I enjoyed doing. Happy days.
