When you purchase a computer at retail, what you are buying is a device that is put together to fit the needs of the masses, and they build those machines with only the necessary components needed to serve that purpose. What that means for you is that your computer may be functioning just fine, but if you ever wish to tackle any operations that require more memory or a more advanced video card, your computer may not be able to process your requests.

This is no fault of your own, but it may prove to be a disappointment when you've just spent a good deal of money on a machine that is not capable of completing the tasks you are hoping to accomplish. Once you add up the amount of money you've already spent on your computer, along with all of the necessary upgrades needed to accomplish your goals, you might not be too happy, but depending on what you need to do, it may be unavoidable.
If you were to instead build your own computer, you will not only save quite a bit of money right off the bat, but you'll also be able to customize your device's specifications to fit what you primary needs will be. Starting from the ground up, you'll have complete control over everything from memory to processing speed. You can customize everything from Cisco brand SFP modules to your choice of video card.
When you buy the individual parts for your computer, you may actually be able to get them at a cheaper price while you're at it, and by picking and choosing where you want to spend your money, not only will you get a device that performs better for what you need it for, but it will also probably cost you far less than if you were to buy a standard computer at retail price.
You have complete control to buy top of the line parts such as Cisco brand SFP modules, Cisco GLC-T or Intel processors, while scaling down the selection of your sound card or any other component, at your discretion.
Building your machine from the ground up will also provide you with an intimate knowledge of exactly what you have in your computer, and if or when the time comes to make any additional upgrades, it will make things much easier for you to do so on your own, without having to seek any additional assistance.
