Custom-built computers tend to have higher quality parts and workmanship than cheaply made new brand-name computers. Being able to choose what goes into the computer means you can source superior parts, giving your PC longevity.

Custom built PCs are far easier to be upgraded or repaired because they use consistently standard parts, making it far simpler to repair than new computers which often have manufacturer-specific parts. This means it’s very difficult to upgrade your current machine because the brand-name company would prefer you to buy another computer, instead.

If you are an intense user of your PC and demand a lot of power from your computer, then custom-made probably has more advantages because you can construct the computer with a larger power source and prime parts to fit your needs. Brand new PCs are inclined to come as they are and cannot be amended easily.
