That it's the question. I hope this does not upset anyone on this forum, and if it does I am sorry, but I have reason for asking. I've built all of my gaming systems for the past 12 years, and the process has been rewarding. This community is the best. I now have a daughter, 1 year old this week, and what little free time I have between her and work I want to spend gaming not building.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but can anyone recommend a company that builds great products and stands behind them so I can do a little research? PC magazine is filled with so many advertisements I don't know who to look at.

CyberPower and iBuyPower are commonly used ones. I don't really see a time issue for the price difference though. For my build that cost me right at 1000 bucks, CyberPower wanted to charge me over 1500. This was my first build ever, and it took me less than an hour to put everything together. I don't know how in depth you get with your builds, but there is a pricetag on my time, but 500 dollar surplus well exceeded that.
