I've seen some articles that aren't too old that suggest that prices on parts are such that buying a pre-built PC might actually cost less, but since things can change in a month/2 months time, I'm not sure if that's accurate anymore.
So I guess my question is whether building your own PC is a significant money-saver or not at this point?
