FAQs

 

1. Is it cheaper to build or buy a PC?

Not necessarily. While many assume building their own PC saves money, that’s rarely the case today.
Veno Scorp partners directly with major brands like ASUS, AMD, Intel, and Corsair, allowing us to buy components at trade-level pricing that’s often cheaper than retail. That means our custom-built systems frequently cost less than DIY builds plus they’re fully assembled, tested, and covered by one unified warranty.

 

2. How long does it take to build a PC?

 

For first-time builders, expect around 3 to 5 hours, depending on your familiarity with the process and the number of components involved. Experienced builders can complete a setup in less time, but it still requires careful assembly and configuration.

When you buy from Veno Scorp, your PC is fully built, professionally cable-managed, and rigorously tested before it leaves our facility ensuring everything runs perfectly right out of the box. All you need to do is plug it in and start gaming.

 

3. Do I need special tools to build a PC?

 

No specialist tools are required. A Phillips screwdriver, steady hands, and patience are usually enough. An anti-static wrist strap is optional but recommended to protect sensitive parts.

If you’re unsure about the build process, it’s safer (and often cheaper) to let Veno Scorp’s in-house experts handle the assembly ensuring perfect compatibility, clean wiring, and optimal cooling from day one.

 

4. Can I upgrade my system later?

 

Absolutely. Every Veno Scorp PC is built with future upgrades in mind whether that’s adding more RAM, upgrading the GPU, or increasing storage capacity.
 We use industry-standard ATX and AM5 platforms, so future compatibility with new CPUs, GPUs, and DDR5 memory is built into every system.

 

5. What happens if something goes wrong with my PC or parts?

 

This is where buying from one trusted source really matters.
 When you buy components separately, you become your own warranty provider meaning you’ll need to diagnose which part failed, contact multiple retailers, and manage returns yourself.

When you buy from Veno Scorp, everything is covered under one roof. Simply return the PC to us. We'll test, identify, and replace any faulty component directly. No chasing multiple warranties, no extra costs, and no downtime longer than necessary.

 

6. What if my PC doesn’t turn on after building?

 

Don’t panic, it's one of the most common issues new builders face.
 Double-check:

  • Power connectors are fully seated in the motherboard and GPU.

  • RAM sticks are clicked firmly into place.

  • Front panel connectors (power switch, reset, etc.) are in the correct headers.

If it still doesn’t boot, your system may have a compatibility issue, something that never happens when you buy a professionally built and tested system from Veno Scorp.


 

Conclusion

 

Building your own PC can be a rewarding experience but it comes with challenges that can easily turn exciting into stressful. Mistakes like mismatched components, inadequate cooling, or power issues are easy to make and often costly to fix.
