Message: [QUOTE="Team THRT Drift, post: 13381124, member: 211275"] [USER=266333]@r_outsider[/USER] most System Integrators (SIs) have made it easy to build a pre built according to your needs using their websites. If you wanted to play a specific game, in this case Flight Simulator, you would choose it as an option and it does everything for you. If you wanted a specific platform (Intel vs AMD/ nVIDIA vs AMD) you can choose that as well. With how the market is currently, the general consensus is to buy a pre built, because SIs can guarantee a graphics card with the build.
