Hello. I've recently decided to get a gaming PC capable of running most current gen games at a decent FPS, but I hit a problem. I have NO idea how to build one. So I started looking for Pre-Built PCs, and found a few things.

This, is my configuration on CyberPowerPC. Before you scream "BUILD IT YOURSELF" or "THAT PLACE IS BAD", then remember that I cannot build it myself, and everywhere else is rather overpriced (my budget is $1500, and while that may be going over the top, I'm willing to go that high). Also, if there are no problems with the company, than please tell me if the PC's okay, and refrain from telling me where I can get it cheaper, because I do not care.

And if there is a problem, please tell me. And if it's with the company, please give me any other recommendations that are not build it yourself because I clearly can't do that. Thanks!

Before I say anything, I'd like to point out how ridiculous it is that people actually have to beg not to be mocked for buying pre-builts. Is building it yourself cheaper? Sure. But there's nothing wrong with paying for the convenience of a Pre-built, as long as it's decent.

Whenever I get the urge to scream, "BUILD YOUR OWN. IT'S NOT HARD. YOU'RE SO STUPID", I remember that I learned about PC's by using and disassembling pre-builts. That gave me the experience I needed to eventually start building my own.

Sometimes we get so caught up in ourselves that we forget about what's right for other people. A pre-built is perfect for a novice who's excited about computers. It's a low-stress, enjoyable way of experimenting at...

A few comments

1. You've selected a cpu that will not be overclocked, then it comes with a liquid cooling system. You can change the cpu cooling to something cheaper, even the stock intel fan would be fine.

2. Not sure why they have included some ATX cases in a build that only has miniITX motherboards as an option. That motherboard will work, but first off, it'll look funny in your windowed case seeing such a tiny motherboard in there, and second, more importantly, you'll be limiting your upgrade options in the future as a miniITX motherboard won't have as many expansion slots as a full ATX motherboard. Again, the miniITX motherboard will work, there are no compatibility issues, just pointing out a strange combination.

3. Your PSU. I'd recommend selecting a name brand. You'd be taking a big gamble otherwise. No name PSUs are dangerous to your system.

Sometimes we get so caught up in ourselves that we forget about what's right for other people. A pre-built is perfect for a novice who's excited about computers. It's a low-stress, enjoyable way of experimenting at their own pace. We want others to enjoys PC's the way we do, right? So why do we pressure them into doing something they're not comfortable with? Just some food for thought.

That being said, I only have a couple small issues with your build. Personally, I would ditch the SSD and buy a GTX 770. Also, whether you buy the 760 or 770, I would jump up to a brand name 700W PSU. Wiggle room is always a good thing. Your MoBo is also Mini ITX which will look funky in an ATX case.

EDIT: This wasn't directed at the posters above. Rather, a large part of the PC community as a whole.
