Hello,

I've made a habit of building a new PC every 2-3 years to keep up with modern games. I recently starting browsing for parts and holy cow are they expensive? I was completely oblivious to whole bitcoin thing.

Anyhow, from what I'm reading it's way cheaper to buy a prebuilt system at the moment?

I would greatly appreciate some suggestions for a good company to buy from. I've read good things about Dell (surprisingly) and Digital Storm.

I'd like to stay around $1000 and get the best upgrade (from my current system) as I can. All help is much appreciated.

My current specs are
-G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB
-MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760
-Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.1GHz
 
For the best value
Run what you have for now, wait till March / April
Then watch all the video card makers sites like a hawk for pre-orders for the new Nvidia cards coming out in March / April
 
Yes, buying a prebuilt system is probably cheaper due to components being overly priced from the demand for them. PSUs, RAM and GPUs are taking the hardest hit.

Dell is a good option.
