Getting yourself a pre-built gaming PC is a good way to experience high frame rates and general air of superiority enjoyed by the desktop PC user without all the tedious fiddling about with cables and screws or the mind-numbing terror of getting the thing to switch on for the first time. An off-the-shelf PC is usually neatly put together rather than a rat’s nest of internal leads with questionable airflow, and has benefits over buying a laptop as you can hook it up to an existing monitor and keyboard, and giving you faster components for your money.
Economies of scale also come into play, as a PC manufacturer can buy 1,000 motherboards for much less per unit than you can when just buying one, and you can often get some nicely priced examples which are still well specced.
