I bought a pre-built but my husband built his PC 6 years ago. I will always buy pre-built cause I don't trust myself to build anything. Next computer is going to be a macbook though.

Will you build your future PC or will you buy a pre-built desktop/laptop?

Not much of a PC gamer so I'll probably always stick to pre-built laptops. The idea of building your own gaming PC is really cool and I would love to try it out one day. But it would be pretty much useless since I would never use it properly.
I have a Macbook now and it doesn't feel like I will need to replace it any time soon which is impressive considering I've had it almost as long as I've been married (9 years).
If I ever did have to replace it though it would probably will be a Macbook.
It's been a while since we've upgraded our gaming PC. My husband may opt to just upgrade certain components of that one or he might want to build one entirely with a new motherboard and everything - I'd let him make that call.

I am going to build a gaming pc in the future. I have never built a pc before and I would love to customize my own components. I'm not worried about screwing it up since I have tinkered with cheap system units in the past. I would practice again before I put together my pc.
I did and the motherboard died, so I went back to pre-built that has warranty on it. It really did suck 
That's unfortunate, did you warranty it and get it replaced?I did and the motherboard died, so I went back to pre-built that has warranty on it. It really did suck
I'm looking at my desktop gaming rig now that I built and paid for myself 
I rather buy the parts that I want, than build the system to how I want the system to be. Yes at the price cost to what I can afford at the time of when you do building a system. With built PC anyway you can upgrade to newer parts down the road
other than if it's an Intel board ;(
I always like to build and play with hardware anyway that's the person that I am. I will not buy a pre-built system, never. Just want to do it myself you know

The new PC I bought is now kind of reassembled by replacing parts as and when they had to be replaced.
I will just replace parts that no longer function.
