Both companies are a lot better than they used to be and are actually run by the same main company. Either way will yield similar results, but building a machine yourself is alot more rewarding in my opinion.
Basically going buying each part yourself will have your rig ready and working faster, but if you don't want to do the build and/or aren't in a rush to get it either company is the way to go. Find which builder has a better deal on the computer you want, price it to newegg or whatever site you prefer, and make your decision off of that.
