  • Microcenter prebuilts are often pretty good deals, since they're generally using off-the-shelf parts as well.
  • If you're near a Microcenter, they have some of the best bundle deals you can find for CPU, Motherboard, & RAM.

Cons

  • Other prebuilts have already been raised in price significantly and you'll usually be spending $400+ extra buying a prebuilt from almost anyone else... i.e. the usual markup for prebuilts.

they actually use pretty good components in their prebuilts from what i’ve heard, and it’s all swappable because they use standard parts instead of proprietary parts like the other person said. the only thing id be concerned about are the ssd and psu, they mostly use “inland” drives and powerspec psu’s which are their house brands.
