Im thinking about buying this computer. It will cost me ( after shipping + taxes ) around $550 CAD which is around $500 USD I think. Do you think that I can get the same specs but cheaper if I built my own computer ? Please remember that the keyboard,mouse,wifi ( i think ? Is it ?) and OS is included so I think that its a pretty good deal. Soo what do you experts think ? Will it be cheaper if I built my own gaming pc ? Keyboard and mouse price must be included

Most of the time, building a PC is 10%+ more cheaper than buying it prebuilt (You're paying for the labor they put into making it+just cause they want more money)

If you would like I could make you a list of PC parts you could build together.

Yes I believe so and you will get the same price and may add some better components in.

Try using PCPartPicker.


If you think I am lying and saying things that are not true then let me show you want that is slightly better with $10 extra.

Its a decent deal and can save the Hassel of finding your own parts but there are draw backs . Graphics card is not good no, really not good if you do strong gaming or want to play AAA Titles . Also motherboard is cheap with no USB 3.0 . also don't be carried away due to presence of a mouse and keyboard which can be picked up for less than 50 $ . and I saw a windows 8.1 basic edition for 65$ somewhere .
So yes you can build a better PC for that money . but if you want to go easy . this might be OK for you .Do check reviews and cyberpower's customer service before buying.
