How much money is saved building your own rig?

You don't really save money, usually end up spending a bit more, but you get the system you want, getting to pick a good Motherboard with a decent chipset, processor, ram, HDD, a decent case and brand name PSU makes it all worth while!!

Of course you save money Reecce

If you buy the exact components as those specified in branded PC package.

But most people just buy the components that they WANT because now they could afford them if they build their own rig!

By how much I don't know I live in third world country anyway but it's a lot here about couple hundred of dollars.
