In this section below, we are going to be going over these areas in detail to ensure you make the correct choice and buy a product that is suited to your individual gaming needs.

Budget

Whenever we are recommending prebuilt computers or custom builds, we separate them into different price categories to help different readers with varied budgets. It is always beneficial to set yourself a budget as it can be incredibly easy to spend more than you were originally planning.

When it comes to prebuilt gaming PCs under $2000, there are no compromises. You can be sure you are getting a very high-end computer capable of playing the latest games in the highest settings possible, while also obtaining high counts of FPS. At $2000, you will have a PC that can also handle 4K gaming but if you don’t have a monitor or the desire to play in 4K, you may want to check out our $1500 prebuilt instead, saving yourself some money in the process.

$2000 Prebuilt Gaming PC Vs. Custom

We always recommend that you build your own computer here at WePC and that is for one simple reason – value. It is no secret that you can squeeze in better hardware for your cash when building your own system, with the markup on prebuilt computers usually costing the same amount as an entire component ($100-$300).

Performance

While the performance of these prebuilt gaming PCs under 2000 is great, when building your own you could in theory include a better CPU or GPU into your computer without spending more. This means you could get even better performance for your hard-earned cash, get better in-game results, and future proof your investment for longer.

Convenience

The main selling point behind a prebuilt is it saves you the hassle. We understand that not everyone knows how to build a computer and may not even have the time to learn this new skill, so the convenience of a prebuilt makes a lot of sense. Of course, there are many more benefits to buying a prebuilt gaming PC from manufacturers, obviously, it takes the stresses away from finding all the compatible components, while also preventing damage to said components when the time comes to build it.

With a prebuilt gaming PC, you are going to be able to send it back to the manufacturer if anything goes wrong. Furthermore, if you feel you need an upgrade, suppliers will often do this for you or at least insist you send it to them for an upgrade. Manufacturers will also dish out a warranty, usually covering parts and labor for around a year but some companies offer impressive warranties and you can always spend extra on insurance, giving you a lengthy/ lifetime warranty.

A prebuilt from the biggest manufacturers around the world aren’t just packaged nicely for you either, they normally stress test the system to ensure the components are working before shipping and that it performs as it should. You will also receive your system with software, usually with Windows and drivers pre-installed, so you can simply plug it in and start downloading games.

Other Features And Freebies

You will often find most prebuilt gaming PCs ship with a free keyboard and mouse. Don’t get too excited, these are usually low-quality peripherals but good enough to get you playing games quickly. We advise you to invest in better quality peripherals down the line but hey who doesn’t love free stuff?
