So I am finalizing my build and checking out newegg for stuff when I come across this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227436R

The first thing I was thinking was it's got everything that I was looking for or needed for about the same price as what I was going to build, and then I saw that it has a 2 TB hard drive AND a 120 GB SSD. And it's $324 off the normal price.

So now I am torn, because that's a lot better than what I was looking at for the price, but it's open box. I can live with the mouse and keyboard and even the power cable being gone, but the whole "Newegg will NOT send you any missing accessories, even if it is required to use all of the item's functions" thing is scaring me a little bit.

Any suggestions?

I would still personally build one myself regardless of what seems do be a decent deal. You dont really know the build quality, ibuypower is a more budget oriented dealer havent really read great things. Also keep in mind someone returned it for a reason i would assume not being satisfied with cost vs performance opted for a more powerful solution. I would sacrifice the amd for an i5 even a new i3 and spend more toward gpu if gaming.

400w psu of an unknown brand I just wouldn't risk it. Windows 8 I wouldn't want (personal preference) not to mention the crap that comes already put on pre built ones
