The issue with buying a decent prebuilt PC is that the amount of knowledge you need to make an informed decision quickly snowballs. Honestly, just getting to the baseline of understanding enough to pick the right prebuilt already qualifies you to build your own. It only took me about 3 hours of research before I realized that I knew too much to go prebuilt. At that point, I figured I might as well spend more time researching and just build it myself.
It's almost a catch-22: If you want a good PC, the amount of stuff you have to learn to pick the right prebuilt is about the same amount you’d need to nudge you into building your own. Once you start understanding things like GPU models, RAM speeds, cooling solutions, and power supplies, it’s hard to ignore the control and customization that building your own rig offers. At that point, paying a premium for a prebuilt system that might not even meet all your specific needs seems less appealing.
It’s like crossing a threshold—once you're there, you realize that building your own PC isn’t just a way to save money; it’s also the best way to get exactly what you want. If you know enough to pick a good prebuilt, you're already halfway to assembling your own.

The problem is, that if you know enough about PCs to find a good prebuilt, you can build a PC on your own.

One way you can tell a pre-built is any good is from the parts listing. The dodgy ones do not list the full part numbers of the components.
RAM is another one. They do not list the speed, capacity or if it is in dual channel or not.
Oh and finding one with no bloatware is a challenge.

During 2020 I bought a prebuilt from ibuypower as I had no knowledge about pc’s and was a bit hesitant about building my own rig.. Fast forward nearly 5 years later I’ve upgraded upon it substantially I couldn’t made a better choice. It honestly was a nice way to get my footing in and eventually teach myself about PC’s, Now I’m nearly on it everyday lol.

nice to see Linus bring out his younger brother!

I'm generally a bit wary of prebuilts because I've seen them cut corners on all the parts that aren't that eye catching in an ad. Weak power supplies that make it hard to upgrade later on, slow RAM or storage, low quality fans, stock coolers and so on.

Ryzen 4070 is the best pre-built

The trick is to ask a tech-savvy friend for advice on a pre-build. I’ve helped advise friends in this manner who aren’t confident enough to build their own PC and want the warranty / support some prebuilds come with.

My friend bought an i7 that has 32gb with a 3060 from walmart for 1300$ cad... The thing is that the processor is a i7 6700. He bought it summer 2024 😅 after his friend who "knew" computers told him it was a good computer

The biggest issue is the fact that the most known tech stores sell poorly buit PC's (At least in my country). I bought a prebuilt pc 4 years ago and only about a couple of months ago I figured out that the supposed "intake fans" which were placed at the top of the case were actually blowing the air out of case, as was the exhaust fan... The case was so cheap and horribly designed that the front panel didn't have any openings for a fan to get air from. So, not only did my pc not get fresh air for 3+ years, but I had to take the front panel off and mount the fans at the front without a mesh, so all the dust got in. I eventually replaced the case, and my conclusion is that most prebuilt pc sellers price their pc's according to the numbers (Cpu, gpu, ram etc.) but don't take into account the build quality and airflow

My new pc i bought someones pre-built that they overpayed for and were disappointed it didn't have all the parts they expected. Got it for half price and replaced a bunch of stuff. Turned out far cheaper than a full build or equivalent pre built. Pointed him to a place here where you choose all parts, pay shelf price and the assemble it well for $150 since he didnt want to build it himself.

Solid advice, I saw hardware unboxed talking about how the user account being the administrator gives a boost to Ryzen in windows 11. Which sounds like a small piece of configuration a good pre-built might take into consideration.
I made my own custom iso, and it appears I’ve blocked myself out of even using the command prompt to make myself administrator. Even though my account has administrator privileges and is marked as administrator in windows settings.
Quite interesting, I think allot of the value of a prebuilt is the software package and it’s install. Free-Ski is a must. Just watch for bears when yr skiing or blazing by the creek.

thank you for colors on the background👉

My rule of thumb: never buy a pre-built PC with too much proprietary parts. As it is tempting to buy it due to discount, you are better off getting a PC where you can replace each parts while maintaining compatibility.

It's actually really easy to tell the difference, you just have to ask one question:
Does it use standard parts or weird proprietary ones?
Standard parts? Then it's good, because no matter what is wrong with it, it can be fixed or changed.
Weird proprietary parts (cough cough dell)? Then it's bad, because it's usually designed to be nearly impossible to change it yourself, and normal parts might not even work with it. Like how the omen obelisk motherboard is designed in such a way that you literally cannot use a modern graphics card on it, because their all so big that they block the motherboard power plug from being used because they put it SUPER CLOSE to the pcie slot for some reason

Ngl Linus I read that as "how do I tell a good pitbull from a bad pitbull" and I was really hoping to widen my knowledge base on that with your opinion

Hey LTT, I have a burning question: My former (now retired) IT teacher said the following (about school computers): "Don't clean a CPU cooler that has been in use for years. Because if you do this, you will damage the CPU with the sudden drop in temperature." He told me this when I suggested cleaning the school computers that had been gathering dust for years and were used almost every day. My teacher was very experienced in IT. I know a lot of people say that's nonsense, but there must be something to it, right? What do you say? An old relic or still relevant today?

When I sell relativly new systems, I make sure to update the BIOS, enable XMP, install windows and all that before putting it online. I completely install Windows and finish the set up so the person who gets it doesn't has to do it.
Yes even Windows 11 with a local offline account on the PC, I mostly do it also to run some benchmarks before to ensure it's 100% working fine.
