Gaming pc is good and user friendly for pc upgrade.
Prebuilt desktop pc is a hell for upgrading.
Never buy prebuilt pc. Pay higher price tag for lousy parts.
but prebuilt more convenient if got problems.............onsite warranty...........bring to service centre also easier.............
those mini pc how ah ?.............lasting or not ?

Do you know the service centre can void your warranty very easily if you have accidentally damaged the warranty sticker or you have mishandling your computer.
DIY use best part, very rarely to encounter component failure. It also give more power load in case you want to upgrade your GPU or any other part.

In the end I bought a laptop instead of a PC. Maybe later part of the year I'll build a PC. Better value for money, but a bit anxious cos it's almost 10 years since I built one. Lost touch on specs liao.

I did mine a while back, and yeah, you can save some cash and get exactly what you want spec-wise. But man, cable management was a nightmare at first. Wires everywhere.
I ended up getting these Under Desk Cable Trays to keep things tidy, especially under the desk. Helps a ton – now I’m not tripping over wires or spending ages sorting them out whenever I add something new.

I'm way past that stage. Built one many years ago and it's too troublesome, must make sure a lot of thing is done properly, like glueing the CPU to the heatsink etc. Now, I'll just use money to buy some convenience.
Hope your PC lasts! Do show a photo here hahaha..
