One other thing to consider is warranty. Often, if you buy a pre-built PC, then you only receive a 1 year warranty on all the parts. All you have to do is search Newegg or a manufacturer site to see that a lot of parts have a longer warranty by themselves.

So, If you build your own PC, then all your parts have an individual warranty. You can grab a hard drive with a 3 or 5 year warranty. Find a mobo with a longer warranty. Also, there are some video cards out there with a limited lifetime warranty.
