The only problem doing this I find over the years is if something breaks
down and possibly takes out another component in the machine can cause havoc
on the warranty. That's only if they find out that something else caused it.
Complete machine built in one go means that if the video card took out the
motherboard, or worse like in my nephews case the power supply which blew
the RAM,MB and one of his HDDs then it's all covered under the same roof....

Why dont you shop the parts yourself and put them together into a box.
You can build computers very cheap this way and you are not requested
to buy a particular shop's hardware set........
