Hey guys,

i came across this website and it seems really cool with tons of installation options and i liked it, they build it and ship it for free. (Im gonna shop from german website tho) How are your experiences with ibuypower?

the size of the part doesn't matter much, and if you watch enough build videos...

My answer is short and sweet. Build your own. You will save a lot of money. Building one isn't as hard as you think either, it's plugging parts in. Youtube, this forum, and Google are your friend. Any question you have about building can be answered there.

do you ever want to learn how to upgrade, modify, troubleshoot, or build?

yes = don't bother and just build your own, you gotta start somewhere
no = sure, why not. pay more, but have someone else do it for you. nothing is FREE, it's factored into the parts prices.

I've heard bad things about them, that the build quality isn't so good. I looked at their prices on black friday and was astounded because of how low they were. You can build a better computer for the same price now, but on black friday it would have been cheaper to buy. If you scout newegg and wait for a little while then you can find a good deal on a prebuilt which you could add a power supply and graphics card to, or just graphics card if you're willing to go with a 750 ti. I bought a prebuilt dell inspiron 3847 for 360$(after dell gave me a discount to not have me return it) and it had an i5-4460, 12gb of ram, and a 1tb hard drive.

i would like that but isnt it different for every different part? i watched a few videos and cases and motherboards and the size of the gpu and so on always differs. I know its not that hard but im kinda being pussy about it. But i may try anyways ill need it eventually. I live in Germany, could you give me some good hardware companies that can deliver to germany? It would be great

What are you going to be using the computer for? Your budget? If you give that info here, forum members will suggest a build. Or you could go to pcpartpicker.com, check the compatibility box, and start "building" the computer on the website, even if you are not buying from the vendors they suggest.

I can't suggest companies that sell in Germany, but probably others can once we get an idea of what you are looking for.

I am not familiar with the cost of Pc parts in euros but if they compare with the exchange rate of dollars to euros then with 1000 euros you should have no issue building something that can run Witcher 3.

Agreed, there are zero good pre-built PC vendors. If you go with an ultra high end company like Maingear, Origin, or Falcon Northwest, you will pay huge dollars. And then there's Cyberpower, IBUYPOWER, and Digital Storm. These vendors cater to the people who either don't care to, or simply don't want to build their own. You won't pay a premium like the aforementioned vendors, but you will pay because these vendors may build systems that look cool, but there's really all style and no substance. They simply don't care about build quality or quality of materials that are used in their systems. They go cheap on critical components like the case and power supply which will almost immediately need to be replaced with something better, and then they hose you for shipping when a part does need to be replaced. The bottom line is build your own - you won't be disappointed and you won't be stuck with a shoddy IBUYPOWER or Cyberpower PC.

At current exchange rate $1,000 USD is equal to about $1,083.54 USD. So if you don't know this is the site I use - http://www.xe.com , they're the most accurate as far as current exchange rates go.

the size of the part doesn't matter much, and if you watch enough build videos on YouTube you begin to see just how similar a lot of the procedures are, and how to take care of a situation when a larger or more complex part is involved.

i usually use Linus Tech Tips for build videos on YouTube. they are very detailed without being WAY too long and boring, and clearly spoken so easy to understand.
