Serious computer gamers know how important their rig is when it comes to beating the competition. Do an online search for gaming accessories and you’ll be presented with page after page of results for everything from high-end graphics cards to ergonomic gaming chairs.
Eavesdrop on any conversation between gamers and you’re likely to hear the discussion include topics such as cores, overclocking, GPUs and frame rates.
There’s also a chance that the conversation will drift towards one of the biggest debates in the gaming world: Should I buy an-off-the-shelf gaming computer or build one of my own?
Unfortunately, there’s no simple answer. The choice depends on factors including the types of games you like to play, your comfort level when it comes to handling delicate computer components and of course, the amount of money you have to spend.
Gamers can be extremely dedicated to their hobby, so it’s no surprise that many opt for building their own gaming rig. Doing so allows them to customize their setup to fit their exact needs, and there’s a certain amount of pride and bragging rights that come with defeating an alien army with the tools you built yourself.
Specifically, building your own rig offers a number of advantages over buying a prebuilt rig. Those include:
Although building your own gaming PC certainly has its advantages, there are many cases where buying a prebuilt machine is preferable. Those include:
Again, one of the most important considerations when deciding whether to build or buy is the amount of money you have to spend. Let’s consider a few scenarios that may help make a decision.
In the case of a mid-tier gaming rig, here’s a checklist of the components you’ll need and their typical cost:
Be aware that the prices referenced above are ballpark figures that may change on a daily basis, but adding these up brings the total of a build project to around $1,100. Realize as well that the figure excludes support.
Compare that with Lenovo’s C730 Gaming Cube, which is available with up to a 9th Generation Intel® Core™ i9-9900K Processor (3.60 GHz, up to 5.0 GHz with Turbo Boost, 8 Cores, 16 Threads, 16 MB Cache), up to 32 GB DDR4 2666MHz memory and options for a NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 2080 8GB graphics card. Again, the price may vary but the cost of the C730 is comparable to a build-your-own machine, with the added benefit of a one-year warranty.
Obviously, any machine you build is going to be a desktop model. If you desire portability, a laptop gaming machine is a requirement. Lenovo’s IdeaPad Gaming 3i laptop features a 10th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-10300H Processor (2.50 GHz, up to 4.50 GHz with Turbo Boost, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 8 MB Cache), 8 GB DDR4 2933MHz memory and a NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 4GB. All that and more for a price that’s more than $300 lower than a comparable build-your-own machine.
If it’s a top-of-the-line rig you’re looking for (and price isn’t an object), it’s easy to spend $1,000 or more on a graphics card, $500 on a processor and $150 for 32GB of memory. Include an optical drive, a lan adapter, expanded storage and liquid cooling, and the price of the build-your-own model can easily add up to several thousand dollars.
Compare that to Lenovo’s Legion T730 Gaming Tower, with its 9th Generation Intel® Core™ i9-9900K Processor with vPro™ (3.60 GHz, up to 5.0 GHz with Turbo Boost, 8 Cores, 16 Threads, 16 MB Cache), 32 GB DDR4 2666MHz memory, 2 TB 7200 RPM HDD + 1 TB PCIe SSD storage and the NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 2080 Super 8GB graphics card. The Legion T730 also comes with Windows 10 Pro installed.
Ultimately, whether to build or buy will depend largely on your specific needs, skills and desires. If you’d like to take on the project yourself, by all means do so.
But if you prefer the security and reliability of a prebuilt computer as well as the warranty and support such a purchase offers, see what Lenovo has to offer.
