The kneejerk reaction from people who've ever assembled a PC even once in their lives is "build it yourself!" regardless of what kind of solution is being sought here. It's true, you can build much higher quality PCs, and that's invaluable for task-specific machines or workstations that will see a lot of heavy use. But in all honesty, if you find a well-configured home/office machine at the $400-500 range, an equivalent custom build might save you a few dollars but not offer a whole lot more in terms of durability/quality.

This right here.

That said, it isn't hard to put one together and knowing how will set one on the path to not being dependent on Geek Squad.
