Hi all.
I'm planning to have a desktop, and most of my friends suggested me to build own custom desktop.
So I want to ask whether it is better to build own custom desktop or buy ready made desktop from manufacturer like Asus.
If building custom desktop is better, I want to know where I can build it? I want a gaming desktop. My budget is around Rm3500 just for the pc.
Any suggestion of shop or place that is good to build a desktop?
