I'm looking to buy a prebuilt PC and want to make sure I get the best value for my money. What are the top companies to buy a prebuilt PC from to avoid getting ripped off? Any recommendations or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!
lets give some context: : My current PC was also a prebuilt, featuring a 3070 EVGA XC3 Ultra Gaming GPU, an i7 12700K, AIO cooling, and 32GB of RAM. However, it's from CyberPower, and I've noticed they cut some corners. (lol obviously!) so for my new pc which im planning to buy, not build in mid 2025 maybe im really hoping for a list of the best brands or even some help custom building a pc online to be shipped out so i dont skimp on ANYTHING, my new pc will likely be a generational boost, from like 3070 to 5070
my i7 12700k might transform to the new ultra 7 265k or a X3D, DDR5 this time around. and no cut cooling corners.

Can get prebuilt gaming rigs from pretty much any of the major players (dell, hp, lenovo, msi). The msi and lenovo ones strike me as a better deal than your average cyberpower.

They are not many boutique pc-builders left. Origin, Digital Storm and Falcon Northwest are still around (or Sager if you want a laptop) if money is no object.

CyberpowerPC prebuilt cheap systems are usually kind of crappy, but they will build you anything you want for enough money.

The problem you will run into is that you are paying a lot extra for parts and labor vs building it yourself. A $5000 cyberpower is going to be equal to about a $3500 dollar rig you built yourself. If you flat do not want to build it yourself (and I understand that) then order all the parts you want, and get a local shop or tech to build it for you. You'll come out ahead vs a pre-built, and get exactly what you want.

I've heard good things about these and they come standard with 2 year warranties you also can easily upgrade them yourself later.




You can check GN's reviews of some other brands most are pretty terrible.

You get what you pay for when it comes to build quality the only way to both get quality and save money is to build yourself.
