Ok, im trying to decide which PC i should get.


The Acer AG3-605-UR39
Intel Core i7 4770 (3.40GHz)
8GB DDR3
1TB HDD Capacity
Windows 8
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770

or the CyberpowerPC Zeus Mini H300 ZMH300
Intel Core i7 4770K (3.50GHz)
8GB DDR3
1TB HDD Capacity
Windows 8.1 64-bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770

Im not sure which one to get due to my lack of knowledge on computer components.... but what i want to know is, which one would be easier to upgrade?I read a review somewhere that said the Acer motherboard cant accept anything above a 500W, but everyone i have talked to has said that is a load of crap.The Zeus mini i know you can upgrade (to some extent) but could i upgrade the power supply? Could i put another HDD in the zeus mini with or without a psu upgrade? Could I put a liquid cooler in either one?


Thank you in advance

If you have to choose between the two PCs, I will get the Acer because it has the the FSP gold 80plus PSU inside it. And look at the CyberpowerPC it has the 350W PSU, 350W? you can calculate this: i7 use 84W, gtx770 195W, MB maybe 40W, DVD 30W. I don't know how 350W PSU can power the whole PC.

If you can build the PC by yourself, I think some member will put the list for you, and you will get the best PC components with similar price for you, because I need go to dinner now.

College prep? I dont understand that. It takes only a Phillips screwdriver to build up a computer. Takes me on average about 45 minutes.

My vote would go for the ACER, but you can build up a much better computer than that with that sort of budget.
