alright guys, im shopping for a new computer, i know what specs i need/want but i just don't know who to purchase it from. Are any of the following companies reliable and have you ever had any first hand experience with 'em?

iBUYPOWER: Custom Build Gaming Computers Desktop PCs, Notebooks
CyberPower Inc. - building the best Gaming PC is not only our profession, it is our obsession.


so whats the verdict on the durability and life span and performance of these companies?

I have heard some stories about those companies,
Like when my friend received his computer,
there was a completely different graphics card in it...

So after hearing that, i would never buy from them

Yeah I would prefer building my own if you were going to get a custom setup. You probably save more money on shipping the whole thing already built + the labor it took to put it together. You also have the comfort of knowing that you're buying from a trusted selling. (assuming you're buying stuff from newegg.com, which I highly suggest you do)

well i don't think i have all the computer smarts to build my own from the ground up. I do know a bit, but i don't have full confidence in myself to not low my computer up while trying to build it.

Its honestly not that hard,
your motherboard comes with instructions how to set it up anyways,
Just find a friend and build the computer with your friend, so it wont be that stressful

don't know how to build a computer? go research it online, it will probably take 5-7 hours to get everything down, but its a good learning experience because you can troubleshoot your own computer, it will cost less to build, it will fit your needs, and warranties on aftermarket products are a lot better and higher than warranties given to customers who purchase "custom" computers
