Hi all, to be honest i am pretty hardware illiterate when it comes to computers, (wrong generation for it), but i gave my son a £500 budget for his 16th to build his own computer. Now ofc as the parent my main concern is the cost! From what i can tell individual parts come with their own warranty, but what happens when they are used in the custom build?
-say the computer breaks/fails how does it work in comparison to made computers you can just buy that come with an overall 1 yr (or w/e) warranty from pc world or whoever;
-can you buy a warranty / insurance for the overall custom build, like you can with modified cars?
-and if so what sort of cost am i goin to expect?
also - What companies usually do good prices on components: i am thinking 'e buyer' & 'amazon', any little gem websites you guys know of?
Thanks
