If you can't be bothered with writing proper English, why should I care reading it? Use the damn spell checker or go back to school!

Well, if you have the money why not? Just buy a Dell Alienware or Acer Predator pc. No need to waste the time and effort to go down to sim lim square to buy the parts and assemble yourself. Somemore any problems with the computer just ring up their customer service and complain. What you are paying is for the brand and service.

DIY? You are your own IT tech support and customer service.

Old news. =P

As much as I despise these pre-built PCs, I have to say Alienware is quite impressive. It's for people with too much money on their hands. If I had the money though, I would buy from Alienware just to make my ego happy.
