Yes, you should buy the parts yourself, but not necessarily at different shops.


why would i loose fps from letting someone build it for me?
 

You wouldn't lose FPS, it's just that the people building the PC for you are ripping you off.
 
Here's a build that would kick the other one's underside and be cheaper at the same time:

im buying it at a computer center. a large building with many pc shops, should i rather buy parts from different/ seperate shops and put them together myself?
 


yes, taht way, you won't have to pay for the people who are building it for you, you'll be able to spend it all on the parts
