Build one or pre built?

[Jp28144]

I want a desktop fast enough to run arma III on standard settings. I don't know alot about building. And I don't want a pre built, due to the fact of windows 8. Can some one help

CyberPower and others still offer pre-builts with Windows 7.

Windows 8 isn't awful once you get used to it, and 8.1 out soon will make it less bad.

Building your own is not hard, it just takes a phillips screwdriver and a couple of hours. If you want to do that, see the "sticky thread" in the General Hardware forum, then make a thread there where you answer all of the questions.

www.Xoticpc.com and www.falcon-nw.com both still offer Win 7 options

www.digitalstorm offers Win 7 as well. Their Vanquish line has gotten a lot of pub lately for minimizing the typical pre-built markup:
