to tell you the truth if you must get a prenuilt. try out https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/ known some who have used them and had a good experience.

basically you can configure the pc just as much as if you built it yourself. if you take your time you can build a quality pc to your specs. it will be more than building it yourself of course but its good for prebuilt.

start with the i5 system as you don't need i7 for gaming (if your doing other stuff maybe the i7 is worth it) https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Christmas_Deal_Z97-I5/ and start adjusting. you can change the case, and anything else you wish.

for prebuilt this is as close to custom as you can get. price changes are listed with the part so there is no guessing as you go.

I can't give you a recommendation but I would seriously consider looking into building your own PC. It's a lot easier then it used to be 10 years ago. I've heard several horror stories about dealing with iBuyPower. One from a friend of mine, iBuyPower sent him a broken computer, not once, not twice, but three times. He had to be the BBB involved to get it straightened out. He didn't get to game on his PC for a good 7 months.

feel free to play around and post a link if you wish. i'd be happy to look it over. to do this you have to have the link emailed to you then you can post it here. or if you give me a budget i can play around as well. i get bored watching pc's load windows and scan for viruses and welcome the chance to kill the time. :)

My budget is around 1500, i know shipping is an extra 100 or so. But flexible on the 1500. And another HUGE questions im worried and is stopping me from putting a order in is the shipping.. I live on the East cost. NH to be exact and cyber power is in CA right? Im worried how exactly will they ship my PC?

My config link is here http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1GLXPG

I did buy a full tower because I could possibly do some upgrading in the future. I honestly do know how to work on computers. I just don't have the time at the moment.

the only thing i would change is the psu. they now have the 750 evga g1 which is a lot better than the corsair and the same price, plus it is modular so will help with cabling and clutter. and i would also drop the win 7 pro to just the home premium. pro is for when you need to connect to domains like in an office environment. if you already know this and need it then disregard :) if you just want the last few features in windows then get the ultimate version and not pro. just for fun, i put your pc into partpicker and this is what it shows

$1200 for the power parts. the other $300 more your paying for this gets your case, keyboard, mouse and other fans plus the extra packing, cabling and such. your really not paying too much of a premium to have it prebuilt ($150 or thereabouts). i don't know what shipping is going to be but you'd pay that anyway buying the parts and having them sent to you.

as for the shipping itself, you picked the extra packing which should be good enough. they will stuff the inside full of foam so nothing inside can move around while in transit. don't know what it will be packed in to be shipped but i have seen such pc's shipped in their original case box. the box is usually pretty tough and of course the case fits perfectly. if they put it in another box but i would assume it will also be good enough protection.

couple of changes i would make but overall it is a good build and not a bad price.
