I feel bad for the people that buy that computer.

Ridiculously overpriced.

I agree... look elsewhere at that price

I figured which is why I posted. I may purchase this weekend from that link altimus posted. It definitely looks like much better pricing.

Just a little update, I built my PC Thursday night, I ended up finishing at around 2AM so that made waking up at 5 a little dicey but I made it. Last night I installed all my programs and ran a few stability tests in which everything checked out. Monday I will set up my desk in my room and get everything situated but so far I am thrilled with everything!

I also have game codes for Boarderlands 2 and AC3 which I already own for 360 so if anyone is interested in a trade, PM me

do you usually buy from them? I am thinking about it for my next computer.

Definitely on AC3. Haven't played it.

I was going back and forth between them and building on my own, you obviously can't beat their prices. Now that I built my PC my perspective has changed so I am in the build it yourself camp. The build process was fun and with the YouTube videos guiding me, I never once felt lost or confused. I also like being able to pick my own parts so I know that no POS components are in there.

Cyberpower has pretty good reviews online so If I was buying a built PC, it would be off them.

I get that part of it, I just don't think I am personally ready to do it.

On a side note, I won a pretty decent amount of change last night on football so I'm trying to make a move on Cyberpower this week.

Is there any specific motherboard I should go for?

I want to have a good entertainment/game machine.

What should I be on the lookout for as far as video card? I am set on GTX 650, is that good enough to run games and run them well?

i5 or i7? Also Should I shoot for 16GB memory?
