It carries a one-year limited warranty, and HP's listings do not state the power supply.

The custom build uses the closest parts in our catalog at their latest prices, including a case, cooler and Windows license where the prebuilt has one. Chips sold only to system builders use their nearest retail sibling, and memory or storage sizes not sold on their own are priced per gigabyte. A positive number means the prebuilt costs more than DIY. It doesn’t count assembly, warranty or your time.
