Understand your reluctance to build. Everyone's worried that first time, but is it worth ~$150? Here's a similar build, using quality parts. It comes at around $1400 shipped and before $70 in rebates:

Yeah, but Cyberpower PC has been known to use off brands.

You should seriously consider building your own, it's far easier than you think with tons of videos on youtube ect for guidance. With that kind of budget you could build a beast of a PC.

I would point out that I was not making a build recommendation. I was only pointing out the cost comparison between buying the CyberPowerPC system and building your own system using identical components when listed or similar, quality components when not.

It's a decent build if that's your budget, but if you can afford the $1550 CyberPowerPC system, then a $1550 self built system, such as the one M0j0jojo lists, would be that much better.

Honestly, there are much better PC companies than most of the companies you hear about. Alienware, iBuyPower, & CyberPower PC all charge more and provide less, they are just brand names. If you are looking for a good build and also a fair price, check out a company like Better Builds. Better specs and better pricing. and u can custom build to your liking. www.betterbuilds.net. Customer service is better too
