CyberPowerPC, along side Alienware and iBuyPower, have good deals and bad deals. (typically their base models are better deals than going into their configurators)

 

Just find some systems that have specs you like, look good to you, and have a price tag you're okay with paying.

Those of us that aren't absolute a******s will weigh in and help you make a decision you can be happy with, be it Tier One, System Boutique, or if you build yourself.

Very strong wording. Also it is cheaper to build your own...... A lot of people who are suggesting to build your own are actually giving valid reasoning on why. It is really and I mean REALLY cheaper to do so. you are not paying for assembly and premium costs. Granted there are some good prebuilts out there, even some bare bones.

Go custom built, components you get are significantly better for cheaper price

[RaggingGinger]

OK I get that. I was asking on prebuilt though.

Linus did a video on prebuild v custom. His conclusion: it isn't always cheaper to build your own. Sometimes, it's more expensive.

Linus also did a video on why one should go prebuild v custom. Conclusion: not everyone wants to build their own.

 

Needless to say, OP asked about prebuilt PCs, and reiterated that he wants a prebuilt system for his own, very valid, reason.

so even though no want custom built? Cyberpower, ibuypower, ASUS and ABS are good ones

[Drak3]

At this point, I doubt you'll find people that will actually help you with what you want.

 

Unless @Thread212 can weight in on a good prebuilt.

This (plus windows from Kinguin.net) is a good value for around 1500 bucks, plus some nice aesthetics, value, and easy-to-build-with components. (to all others here, he doesn't need an i7 for gaming, it doesn't bottleneck anything, I run my i5 wiht dual 980s, 0 issues).

also that is what we (logicians) call a bandwagon fallacy. linus only did a comparison on very few with similar build.

As I said earlier, with black friday coming up, it would be better to buy parts and pay for assembly later if OP doesn't want to build. Better deals for parts than pre-builts.

Also, those "good deals" are prevalent in the low-end market, where bulk purchase, custom mobos, etc. provide an advantage. $1500 isn't really in that segment

Oh I totally agree with that, though we are talking about 1.5k as you mentioned

Perhaps we should keep blue/white, since OP said that's what he liked. That's what I did.

Also, to OP, these build people are showing you right now are guidelines, and ideas of what you can attain. Black friday deals aren't all here yet. For example, in my build i used a 6600K for the CPU. While this is more than enough, you could easily afford a 6700K with black friday savings, while retaining things like the nice case, etc. You could also get better storage, more accessories like lighting, keyboards, monitors, etc. due to the savings.

There's also the deals subforum right here on this site. check it out too when you start shopping

[Drak3]

Alienware's Aurora Core i7-6700/8GB DDR4-2133 RAM/ 1070/ 1TB HDD isn't a bad option. It's Roughly $1350.

You could build cheaper if you go with lower quality parts, and substitute the Z170 board Alienware used (upgrade path if you decide to overclock). But seeing as that is what everyone else is championing, you've probably heard enough of it.

 

The Revolt 2 by iBuyPower goes for $1399

It's sporting a 6700K, 1070, 120GB SSD boot, 1TB HDD storage, and 16GB  DDR4-2400.

 

I couldn't really find much by CyberPower that didn't sport an old AMD 9590 for the price.

 

You could potentially find good deals on ASUS's ROG lineup in a few big box stores.

I really would try and find something with a 1080 and a 6600K rather than a 1070 and a 6700K, it'd provide him much more of a benefit for his strictly gaming application.
