Computer Purchase

[hawkeg]

Hello everybody, Happy Easter.

So I'm planning on purchasing a pre-built tower (do not want to put one together) that will provide me with a best bang for my buck.

I've been lurking on NewEgg and came about this tower : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227654

The specs look great for the price but I just wanted to double check with you guys if there's even anything better for similar price, or this is it?

Thank you.

Thats a great deal but you can go on websites like ncix and customize it

Besides being one of the most unattractive PC's in existance it's a pretty good deal!

It comes in with a 700w. But you know these prebuil companies - they put the cheap unbraded psu's into the systems. HOPEFULLY this is not a case.

HAHAHA beside the ugly as crook tower yes that's a good deal. Still your basiccly handing them about 200$ free dollars but sometimes you just don't have the time do to the research am I right?

But you can get much better rig for less money and pay to someone to build it if you dont feel comfortable doing it. Do you realize that every component in that PC is the cheapest one. And that i7 is not a K

Do you see the sticker on PSU saying "HIGH POWER"? lol

Btw I do not plan to overclock anything in my systems so the K processors are not a neccesity. And the PC part picker has the 380, looking for a 390 and up. Lets see how much it comes out to

[chiwas]

Do you need i7? You want gaming rig?

You should try customizing one on ibuypower's website, they've always done my friends and I well

[Auxafly]

lol this whole build would be about $1120 if you add the $50 building fee (from Fry's) + a better case

It's always better to build it yourself since one, you get exactly what you want, and two, you get it cheaper, but if you just don't have the time to do it yourself that's a pretty good deal to be honest.IMO the case is ulgy, but again, your not getting a computer for it's appearance, am I right?

Well if you wish to do it yourself, you'll save quite a it of tie by searching thing like "CPU explained" in this forums serach bar. Had I known at the time I'd save maybe 5 hours of research but whatever m8. Don't hesitate to use pcpartpicker as it will tell you if you've got compatibility issues. Otherwise don't hesitate to use these forums to ask question, pretty mucb every question concerning building a pc can be answered here.
