Hi, I was wondering if it is worth making a PC over buying one.

I wonder what your question is, since “it’s easy” is not the same as “it’s worth doing it”.
Also see a discussion from a few days ago: https://www.techrepublic.com/forums/discussions/should-i-buy-a-pre-built-or-build-a-pc/?view=all and the discussion mentioned in an answer in that discussion.

Can you explain why three different members with the same IP-address ask the same question? Or are you one person with 3 user names?

Building vs. Buying a PC: Which Is Better?

In reply to Is it easy to make your own PC?

Building a PC allows for customization, better performance per dollar, and future upgrades, making it ideal for tech-savvy users. However, it requires time, research, and assembly skills. Buying a pre-built PC offers convenience, warranties, and customer support but often comes at a higher price with less customization. If you’re comfortable assembling components, building a PC can be more rewarding. Otherwise, a pre-built system might be the better choice.

Building a PC allows for better customization, and you can often get better performance for the same price compared to a pre-built system. However, it can also be tricky for beginners. You’ll need to make sure that all the parts are compatible with each other, such as the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and GPU. Additionally, there is the process of assembling the parts correctly and ensuring everything is properly connected.

If you’re up for a learning experience, building your own PC can be very satisfying. However, if you’re looking for something quick and hassle-free, buying a pre-built PC might be a better option.
