Pre-Built PC

[GLAClAL]

Alright gamers, strap in because this is a hell of a situation. My laptop's USB controllers have decided to commit game over. So I am getting a desktop. And this is where the fun begins. 

 

I cannot build my own PC, reason being is I work at Best Buy and enjoy a fantastic discount on the accidental coverage, which now as of writing has come in handy three times with these damned laptops. (NOT USER ERROR)

 

However Best Buy sells a limited selection of pre-builts. My budget is $3000. Now that includes a new monitor as well. I have looked far and wide and have found a few seemingly good options on Best Buys website. However before I cash in the laptop and pull the trigger. I want some input from the people who know more than me. 

 

Brands that are seemingly worth the buy: iBUYPOWER, CLK, and CyberPowerPC. 

 

Currently I have my eyes on these desktops respectively:

My main concerns are how reputable these companies are. 

And whether or not these computers have USB 3.0 or above (VR Gamer).  

 

The CLK seems like a good deal, and it explicitly states it has USB 3.0.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

P.S. I cannot insure a custom built pc.

My friend has a Cyberpower bought through Nebraska Furniture Mart with a warranty, and when his radiator leaked and fan broke, it cost him about 300$ to ship it in to avoid voiding the warranty. 

Personally, the CLX seems to be more attractive due to the traditional form factor, but the significant price difference due to the higher storage SSD is not worth it. If you have room, the Cyberpower PC seems good.

The benefits of being an employee and being able to drive to a best buy and exchange will always be a plus in my eyes. Hope your friend got it all figured out.

Hope you get a deep discount because that PC isn't worth $3000 and doesn't come with a monitor.

 

If you get a good discount, then sure.
