where are good places to buy custom build pc

la321 · Feb 4, 2014

Where are some good websites to buy custom built computers? i'm in the u.s i've read about ironside and i looked on ncix they are out of my price range which is $600-$800 but read that they can build a pc for you

ssddx · Feb 4, 2014

what price range?

ncix has many options and doesnt seem to mark up the prices like every other custom comptuer retailer does. they have some decent solutions

(or you can just build it yourself... its easy)

You won't be getting an i7 system in your price range. Fill out all the information in the *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice* sticky and we will put together a system for your intended use and budget.

Pcpartspicker.com is an excellent resource. You save quite a bit of money because it automatically finds the cheapest retailer for the component you selected. I can change the build to all come from Newegg, but it will go considerably over your $800 budget...

la321 · Feb 4, 2014

i need a 1tb or 2tb hard drive yeah i've read about that but i will have to put my card number each time to different resources i would have to go on each of those sites or i could order all at once is it possible to do that on pcpartpicker

la321 · Feb 4, 2014

here is the list from last time http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1I28x#incompatibilities but it says its incompatible i rather have western digital than seagate is the fractal design r4 a good case?

la321 · Feb 5, 2014

if i wanted to upgrade processor in the future will i be able to since its a custom build?

Building your own pc will require really only one thing from you, TIME. If you're willing to make a time investment to research every part, ask questions, and make mistakes, I GUARANTEE you will receive one of the most rewarding and satisfactory experiences of your life. (and save a fair bit of money too) I HIGHLY recommend building your own. There is so much information, tutorials, and people willing to help you a long the way. You can do it man.

Camtrip · Feb 5, 2014

la321 :

Use pcpart picker (and blanket searches on newegg ex:"650W Power Supply"), generally amazon has the best prices overall. There will probably be a few of the more expensive items for better prices on newegg (or similar seller) and get those one or two items from them.

la321 · Feb 6, 2014

Thanks and would i be able to upgrade processor if i wanted to later changing the motherboard

la321 · Feb 6, 2014

Well, the main problem with that build just like most pre-built systems is that the PSU is junk. A quality PSU is the key to a stable, long-lasting system.

la321 · Feb 6, 2014

what about this pc? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8564588&pagenumber=3&RSort=1&csid=ITD&recordsPerPage=5&body=REVIEWS#CustomerReviewsBlock

shortstuff_mt · Feb 6, 2014

Well, the PSU is slightly less junk than the other one, but it doesn't include a GPU or OS...

la321 · Feb 6, 2014

i will call the shop and go with a better psu is a 650 psu better? i will be using this computer to stream with xsplit a streaming software if anyone is familiar with it in 1080p i can also change the processor if need be later on this shop also offers a warranty

la321 · Feb 6, 2014

i found this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146078

la321 :

It's not the wattage that makes the PSU junk, it's the cheap components inside the PSU. You want to go with a quality PSU from a known good manufacturer. Seasonic and Corsair make good PSUs. At a bare minimum you need to get a PSU with active PFC and at least 80+ certification. If the computer shop doesn't understand those terms and doesn't carry a PSU with those minimum requirements then you are wasting your time there.

That looks like a nice case. I'm a little confused. Are you still considering building a computer? Your recent posts have all been about pre-built systems.
