Yes, and less risk also.



To buy a ready-made PC with the high end specs of the last one I built
would have cost nearly twice as much from one of the only one or two
vendors that actually builds such machines. Most of the "high end" PCs
from the big name vendors incorporate some really annoying hardware
shortcuts, or have padded out prices because of silly features, such as
tricked out cases with lighting effects.
