Hi,
Normally, for game/personal use I do indeed recommend building the rig. The experience is worth it, you might save some bucks, and you are well on the way to being your own technician.
However, this sounded like a business use to me (I might have gotten that wrong). The cost of building a computer goes up if salary and benefits are added for the time it takes. Then there's the fact the company becomes hostage to the guy who built the machines. If he leaves, there usually is no one who can fix problems when they come up. Thus, for most companies, I recommend a supplier with a good rep. Local is good if the company buying is small, but most mom and pop stores couldn't supply a Boeing.
