Dave you should tell us what you want this computer to do. Are you planning on playing games,intensive CAD, or just a bit of everything? One few good things about custom building is that, 1.all the parts will be high quality, brand names, 2. there is no integrated parts, so upgrading is easy, 3. it is cheaper overall. 4. YOU decide what parts you want in it.
There are a few cons as well. One is that there is no overall warrenty, although each part by itself may have a warrenty of 30days to years, depending on whether it's an OEM unit or a retail unit. Another is that it may take a bit more time waiting for all the parts to arrive from various shops online. I had to wait almost a month for all my parts to arrive, because I was being frugal and picked a bunch of crappy companies that advertised low prices but never shipped.
