Should I Build MY Own Computer or Purchase A R13?

HappyTexan69

Hello, I'm wanting to build or purchase a computer for 6k video editing.

I don't know if I should build my own computer or purchase the R13 that is offered by Micro Center. SKU:360842

This computer looks good but no one has been able to tell me which Z690 Motherboard it has. Spec sheet says Z690 Motherboard.

Dell Alienware Aurora R13 Gaming PC

Intel Core i9 12th Gen 12900KF 3.2GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12GB GDDR6X; 32GB DDR5-4800 RAM; 1TB Solid State Drive

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Good afternoon @HappyTexan69

Thank you for contacting micro center. So looking at the Dell system my guess is that this is a board they have made themselves and is not from a third party as even their own specifications just lists the chipset. The main concern you will have with building your own system will be getting a graphics card for the computer.
