Although I had my computer built you selected a base system and then there were a lot of choices over the configuration, such as case, motherboard, CPU, Graphics Card, memory, hard drives and so on. I had a number of choices like two or three case styles, may be three different motherboards and a choice from around thirty graphics card. The limited options were great in that I had a short list of components to research and, of course, all of the parts would work together, no chance of choosing a computer case and then finding the graphics card you had purchased would no fit inside the case. I got a good price on the CPU and graphics card as both had just been replaced by new models, so to a degree my computer was already out of date the day they built it. I spent a few years in the industry and it is so difficult to keep up with all the changes, now retired I find it impossible. I have a machine that works for me and no real money for any thing new so I just don't look.

Services like that here in Brazil are overpriced. You end up paying so much more just to have someone give you a handy list of options, and assemble the final thing for you. Because we're somewhat savvy, and very crafty, we preferred to learn to assemble the stuff ourselves :)
