It used to be that if you were a hobbyist, building your own PC with whatever components and aesthetics you had in mind would be a total breeze.
However, with GPU and other component shortages, buying a pre-built desktop from a trusted brand could be the way to go this holiday. Not only will it save you time and hassle, they’ll often come with a manufacturer guarantee and save your wallet from the pain inflicted by a scalper through eBay.
Here are some of the best ready-to-play gaming desktops available this holiday.
