Hey Guys,,

I'm buying a new computer for my birthday, but I have decided where I'm going to go and get it. I was going to cyberpower, but it seems they have alot of problem with building, and very poor tech service. This is what I was going to buy, tell me what you think. I saved $100 because I dropped down to the intel core 2500k, or should i go with the i7 2600k 3.4 ??

I don't know what you are running now but that will just about max any game out there at any resolution except 2560 x 1600. It looks like a nice machine. I'm sure some will gripe about no SSD but meh.
 
Why not just build one? I'd go with the 2500 for the $$ savings but everything looks good.
 
I agree with Sixer on this one. You could get the same PC for about 800 less by building it yourself. There are great tutorials on Youtube on how to build a PC.
 
Yeah, I had a friend help me build my first one and have done that ever since. It's not hard to do as long as you know the components and read up a little before doing the build.

I started with system built PCs and always had major problems. Since I've been building my own, 6 of them now, I've had 2hdds, 1PSU, 1 MB, and one stick of memory go bad but they were all under warranty and new replacement was easy. All in all though, they were minor issues compared to what I experienced with prebuilt pcs.
 
I built something similar from Dell with a 3 year full tech support warranty and 2x 1TB drives for 1400.
Same CPU, W7 home, Office H&B, Acrobat Pro, 8gb ram.
