Building your own computer likely does not save as much as it once did. The biggest thing is you will know what parts go in it, and you control the specs.
A SSD is a fast, but a M.2 drive is faster, and not that big of a price change. 2 TB instead of just 1 TB, and the biggest thing for me is the case. Are all the USB ports USB 3.0 or 3.1? So many cases want to save a few bucks, and use USB 2.0, and they are just super slow.
How big is the power supply? Just big enough, or with room to grow. Another thing is with a purchased turn key may have a limited warranty, but does it use 100% industry standard parts?
Dell uses parts with a "flavor" and all components need a driver from Dell, not an industry standard driver.
So there are pluses and minuses. For me, I enjoy the challenge of picking the parts, and building my system. No way would I do that for someone else, because I do NOT want to be the tech support.
Good luck!
