So im looking to buy a new pc. I'm debating whether or not to build my own (as i can upgrade parts later on as i see fit) or just to buy a bundle from best buy.
This is the best buy package i was looking at:
http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=BDL10001550&catid=20215 it also comes with a free printer and Office 2007 for $99.
These would be the parts i would buy from tigerdirect.ca to build my own:

Also, i've never build a pc myself. Is it difficult to do? From some of the guides that i have read it doesnt seem too difficult.
Are either of these setups any good?
