Interested in computers at a good price

To make this quick I'll outline people that buy computers.

1. People that "just need a computer" for the basics like web browsing, email, etc. They don't care about specs or power and will buy whatever is cheapest and easiest and likely a laptop. This is the vast majority of computer purchases, none of which you'll be able to capture.
2. Working professionals that use computers for their job, like editing and rendering. Not overly concerned with price and will want something both powerful and reliable. Will look at products provided by established companies with warranties and not something from a small unknown company.
3. Gamers. Those that care very much about their system's power are also likely to be focused on price and will subsequently build it themselves. Building in itself is not the least bit difficult. Those that don't will end up getting it from a company like iBUYPOWER or similar, which have prices you cannot ever feasibly compete with for reasons @beers listed.

Alienware are a subsidiary of Intel so they are completely funded and staffed by Intel so they technically aren't a custom computer company and yes computers that are usually sold for €1000 would be sold for €600 and others to say the market is dry far from the truth actually our market research has shown that a lot of people still like the thought of a computer over a small mobile device because you can't play a computer game on a mobile device can you no you can't

You mean Dell. And true they aren't on the same level as Cyberpowerpc or iBuyPower as far as custom gaming machines go, the idea that their computers selling for $1000 could be sold by you for $600 is nonsense. Yes they up-charge their components, but 60% higher? No way, I've compared them and it's 10-20% at most, and usually it's closer to the low end.

Yes there are lots of gamers out there, but the vast majority are content playing mobile games like candy crush. Then those that want full featured games buy consoles. The percentage of users that want a gaming PC is small.

Well there are kits where you get all premise pieces and slot together then there are from scratch where you build each individual piece yourself

Realistically, even if you buy each component they're still kits.

You aren't engineering a CPU in your basement with some crazy lithography process.

+1.

I had this thought, and tried it when I was like 16 or 17. Thought I had this great idea of building computers and selling them on eBay after they paid for it. I did one, and had so many problems I stopped.
