Alright. I've been wanting to buy my first desktop for awhile now. Now that I've finally saved up some money, I decided to buy a custom computer from Cyberpower. I would appreciate any tips or advice for cutting down the price without hurting performance.
Just some information: This is a gaming computer. But I don't plan to be planning to use multiple monitors (yet), or doing anything crazy, such as multiboxing.
My budget is up to about $1500
