Hey how's it going Ben
I work as a tech at a school in brisbane, trust me building a computer isn't hard at all. I buy all my parts from umart.com.au most of the time they are cheaper than MSY and they always seem to have plenty of stock.

Thanks everyone! Definitely has me interested in maybe having a go at building one. Question though, if I was to spend say $550 on a built pc from the cnet site tadzorz works at, what sort of difference in quality/performance would I gain by buying components and piecing it together.

Generally, when buying individual components and piecing them together yourself, you'll save yourself some money compared to buying one built by them.

Probably another thing to consider is, if you buy a ready built one, it normally comes with a 1 year store warranty. However, it's not really any sort of bonus in my opinion as if you buy individual components, if one of the component goes faulty, there is usually manufacturer's warranty where you can just send the part to the manufacturer for a replacement.
