the last time i walked into lowyat was almost 10 years ago  dry.gif and there's something about the vibes there that doesn't comfort me. feels like every single one of them is trying to rip me off, especially more so if i walked in there and tell them i "no-no".
i see - the entire process sounds a bit tedious to me  sweat.gif
Yes! proprietary parts - this is exactly the reason why i am considering not purchasing from Dell for my next Home machine. I just found out recently that my XPS8910 has proprietary PSU so i cannot just upgrade my GPU because of the power limitation.

Go Idealtech fb page and check out the builds design, looks, price. They list them down nicely.

Then you can ask quotation and they reply to you fast.

Then you can easily compare parts pricing with other vendors/shopee etc. Go lowyat see see and chat with the (bigger) vendors see who can offer you better deal. It is a friendlier place now than before, also not very crowded.

Idealtech - had a very bad first encounter when i bought a GPU from them few years back. Their website listed RMXX and so i travelled all the way to their shop in Ampang because they said the promotion price is only valid from their Ampang outlet and so i travelled close to 45mins only for them to not honor the price.

Ended up arguing with them for close to 30mins before they are willing to sell me the agreed price - never again with Idealtech.

my nephew got a pc from idealtech recently since he do not have the mean to diy. i think it is decent for the price. I diy and put up some specs for him based on shopee lazada price and idealtech is just about the same total price in the end minus one or 2 parts which is of lower tier brand.

chii think u need to get one of your friends to accompany u when u go lowyat when trying to buy your new custom build PC.
if u have no such experience of buying custom PC part by part and asking the shop to assemble, chii understand u will be skeptical of it.

however, custom sets are superior to pre-build based on the value for money. in my experience of assembling 3 sets so far.

that is exactly what i was told by my peers when i told them i intend to replace my aging XPS with another XPS.

ANYWAY, these custom built systems are just the hardware only right?

What about the operating system - purchased separately?

I saw from Microsoft website that it costs close to RM1k for it --> Source

there is some ktard in kopitiam that builds custom pc as that is his actual day job
sometimes he will post pics of him building it maybe you can ask him
but if you ask for custom build and want the store to build it for you, the price may be the same as buying pre-built since the store will charge a fixing fee to fix it up for you which may or may not be cheap i.e. 10% fixing fee of your entire rig so if you buy 6k pc then its 600$ fixing fee
there are lots of ktards that love to build it for free for you but you'd be gambling on which one is sane and which one is insane
honestly building it your own is very satisfying but I can understand if you dont want to coz cable management is a pain in the ass and its actually a lot harder than what people say
so what you should do it compare the prices of custom + fixing fee and prebuilt
also, for 5k you can get the top 30% of the line specs. if top up 1k to 6k total you can get top 10% of the line
but you need to give more details on what you want to do with the pc before people can suggest something legit.
the one advice I'd give is dont cheap out on psu. I see lots of people suggesting no name brand psu but if you're gonna be powering a rtx 4090, im sure you want a reputable psu instead of a house fire right?

windows 10 home around rm 500-600 la. and yes the OS is purchased separately.
the advantage of custom build is u can specify what u want to be the good part, gamer need better GPU but can cut back on the motherboard and select specific ram.
can customize the CPU to what you feel u need, no need to over commit.
it is only hardware.

chii can see you are very skeptical. so bring your peer / friend go with you.

So custom set tldr is diy set or self pick part then some1 assemble for u. Those "combo" or whatever package by shop 99.9% is custom, jz that the shop pick the part, some allow u to upgrade or down.

Prebuilt is like dell xpg u using , watever alienware crap system. Those are like they design a pc case , then fit watever crap in, sometime shit psu + ok gpu + no brand ssd etc. Some allow upgrade but still wont disclose what exact brand/model they using.

OS unless u using it to work in big corp environment then u buy from official. If home use jz buy those rm5 windows10 key from shopee/laz. Buy KEY CODE, not crack/file that activate.
