Hey all,

since its cyber monday I was looking for some things to buy, and am in need of a desktop replacement. As mine is way pass its lifespan and my laptop isn't cutting it in high end gaming. I was looking at Bestbuy and saw this:

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/cyberpowerpc-cyberpowerpc-gamer-supreme-pc-intel-core-i7-4930k-120gb-ssd-2tb-hdd-16gb-ram-windows-8-english-slc6600/10274303.aspx?path=bb24f7b1d1c5de4d3b39d2684d932997en02

seems like a nice deal and suppose to be one of there specials for cyber monday in Canada. But then from my computer building roots. I wonder what I can build for around the same price but maybe get better performance? I mean that case looks awesome and the components seem top tier. But what do you guys think? Anyone have any suggestions on builds at $2500 that offer better performance? Or should I just buy that tomorrow evening?

No fancontroller and peripherals,you should choose those yourself.Still with those included you probably would be better of in terms of price.I know it's not a 2011 socket,but you don't need that for gaming anyway.
With the difference in price you could put a gtx 780 ti in if you want to.

The case also comes in white and black,but a case is personal so you could choose one yourself again.

All good parts,like with that pc your talking about,it says a 800watt psu,but what brand,efficiëncy rating etc.?
