Time for a new PC

[MadMadamMim]

I'm looking to get a new PC, I know that building one is all around more efficient but aside from not having the know-how I also am fairly certain I don't have the patience for it. My brother built one for me years ago and all of the troubleshooting when things went wrong was so so so not for me. I was wondering if there is a site where you can pay to pick the parts and have them put it together for you. There is also a Fry's electronics near me if they have anything decent. Thanks in advance for your help!


Figured it was obvious, but in case it wasn't I am looking for a gaming computer. I know that is fairly vague. The only game I play atm is WoW, I'd like to be able to play it smoothly on really high settings.

There are a lot of sites that you can "custom build" a pc and they'll put it all together for you. iBuyPower, CyberPower, MainGear, Origin. They're probably what you're looking for (I wouldn't recommend the first 2 based on experiences from personal irl friends, but the latter two seem to be pretty popular among streamers).

Be aware that you can expect a steep markup. My $2100 PC that I just built runs (roughly, obvi, since not all parts are available) ~$2800 on MainGear.

Thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for. I figured there would be a pretty large markup. It isn't ideal, but it seems to be better than just buying a stock computer off the shelf.

You can also use NCIX(US) provided you're in CA/US granted you did say Fry's. They allow assembly if you purchase the stuff there
