My bro wants a new computer

Mad Max · February 10, 2015, 03:51:47 PM

He just put a new PSU and 550ti in his current rig a few months ago, but the other internals are aging. Would it be a terrible idea to get a pre-built and put his current gpu and psu in it? I've only ever built my own computers, so I don't really have a good argument against it.

Just buy whatever parts need upgrading.
It'll be cheaper..

Buying a whole prebuilt to just swap out his new gpu and psu sounds more expensive than just getting new everything else of comparable quality, honestly.

Yeah, that was my suggestion, too. Shit, I'd even put it all together. I love that stuff.

You'd have to make sure the prebuilt is entirely compatible with the stuff you're going to put in it.

The CPU socket isn't the entire computer.
Everything else will fit fine as long as it's anything remotely modern

why not buy everything you need to build a new one minus the gpu and psu? why the fuck would you buy a prebuilt with internals that you're gonna throw away?
