Hello guys,

I have been looking at these since building a PC is out of the question even though I am fully capable. I have seen a lot of feedback about these sister sites about their questionable PSUs. Would these systems be okay if i upgraded to a different power supply in my order?

I am looking to make a purchase on black friday or cyber monday since my budget is about $900. If there are any sites that would be worth looking at please link them as i would love the input!

Thank you in advance.

I also bought a prebuilt computer (because i didn't know a lot about how to build a pc at the time) from a site called ironside computers i have been very satisfied with my computer from them there customer support is amazing and overall i liked the computer pretty well.

Do NOT buy from Cyberpower I made that mistake once and got a DOA PC. Luckily I ordered through amazon and didn't have to go through their terrible customer service.

Unsure on iBuypower but, I say dont expect much from either company.

Yeah, that is what I have been noticing. Its either great or terrible. And at that price point its not worth the gamble.
I have checked out ironside and this is what i came up with for about 1000 which is barely over my initial budget:

Case - NZXT S340 Black
Additional Case Fans - No Additional Fans
Noise Reduction - No Noise Reduction
Internal Lighting - None
AMD Processor - AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz (Eight Core)
CPU Cooling - Standard Heatsink
Thermal Compound - Standard Thermal Compound
Liquid Coolant Refill Bottle - None
PC Liquid Coolant - *Requires Iron Tundra Liquid Cooling Systems
Liquid Cooling Tubing Color - *Requires Iron Tundra Liquid Cooling Systems
AMD Motherboard - ASUS M5A97 LE [Graphics Card Req.] SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 {4 DDR3 Slots}
Overclocking Processor - Stock Speed
Overclocking Graphics Card - Stock Speed
Memory - G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Primary Hard Drive - 1TB 7200 RPM
Hard Drive Cooling - None
Secondary Hard Drive - None
Secondary Hard Drive Cooling - None
Optical Drive - DVD Writer
Graphics Card - AMD Radeon R9 280X 3GB (Min. 500 Watt Power Supply)
Graphics Card Cooling - Stock GPU Cooler
Power Supply - Standard 700 Watt
Operating System - Windows 10 64 Bit
Networking - Internal Wireless N 300Mbps
Fan Controller - None
Media Card Readers - None
Sound Card - Integrated HD Audio

Any changes that i could make that would make the system less expensive with similar FPS? 5-10 frames is not a big deal for me.
I would play mostly csgo and minecraft, but with a better pc i might also consider playing more demanding games.

Personally I didn't include a DVD writer because i never would use its up to you also if you do wait for black Friday they might have a promotion for example I got the back 2 school promo when I got my computer where I got free mouse keyboard and speakers

I had CyberPower and my PSU also died, the rest of the PC was amazing, so yeah get a better PSU you are are good to go.

I would also suggest you look at prebuild Cyberpower/ibuypower on NewEgg or Amazon or Walmart, sometime you can find crazy deal.
