PLEASE DONT TRY TO CONVINCE TO BUILD MY OWN
I can't decide if I should get the ibuypower with the rx480 8gb or the cyber power with the rx480 4gb. I want a pc That I can upgrade the cpu and gpu and I can't decide (price Dosnt matter) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/reviews/B01HNBLHAA/ref=cm_cr_getr_mb_paging_btm_3?ie=UTF8&s=sd&sortBy=sd&pageNumber=3 And this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HIS315C/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479946277&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=rx+480+i5&dpPl=1&dpID=51qCkf%2BKiLL&ref=plSrch

For $10 you get 4gb more. Other than that, the only difference I see is the cases in which they're in.

Just realized the cyber power link was s review link here's the real one https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HNBLHAA/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

iblessi :

Both of them have a socket LGA 1151 motherboard which means you can upgrade them to an i7 6700k when the time comes, and the GPU can be easily upgraded as well. I would just go for the 8gb RX 480 so that in the future you won't have problems with too little video memory.

$10 difference, I would just go with the 8gb version however when adding in a new CPU &/or GPU I would check the power supply to make sure its good enough to support the new parts, more then likely its a low quality unit.

I saw someone in the reviews claim that you can't fit a second gpu into the ibuypower and that the case was too small for upgrading is that true?

bwinzey · Nov 23, 2016

You cannot crossfire or SLI a second GPU because of their motherboards, which are B150's, and only support one PCI x16. Size-wise, it all depends on the size of the GPU that you plan to swap with.

iblessi :

Tower size has no effect on the GPU but if the motherboard only supports 1 GPU then you won't be able to run a second GPU. Someone also notes that the PSU is only 600W which in most cases is too low (probably a low quality unit as well) to run a second GPU. Anyways your always better off getting the best single GPU you can afford.

iblessi :

You can get parts and send them to a store for assembly to get significantly better value, is that something you'd be interested in?

iblessi · Nov 23, 2016

How do I check what power supply the cyber power one has and if it's better than the ibuypower

Chugalug_ · Nov 23, 2016

You don't, they all have generic PSUs.
Read what I said above, you can get a local Microcenter or PC store to assemble it for you at a reasonable price.
Allows you to get a much better PC for the price.
If you're set on buying those, the IBP PC is better.

iblessi · Nov 23, 2016

The question isn't if I should get micro enter to build one or buy a prebuilt. The question was witch one is a better buy.

bwinzey · Nov 23, 2016

And we told you but you keep asking other things.

iblessi :

I said in that comment to get the IBP one....
It's actually pretty good value for a prebuilt.
