The last time I posted here 3 years ago I had purchased my first gaming PC and had received a ton of good advice so I wanted to come back and ask you guys a couple questions regarding purchasing a high end PC for under $1500 from CyberPower!

1) Is this a good website to order from without problems?

2) Will windows 10 already be installed? Or do I need to do that myself? I don't think there is a disc drive in the computer I am looking at so I'm not sure how people go about doing this.

Here is the model I am looking at, let me know if you guys think this can run any game on high end specs: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Infinity_8800_Pro

I can fully understand if you are uncomfortable building your pc. Have you considered contacting a local community college IT instructor, who might have some students who would be willing to build it for you for a small fee (or maybe pizza and beer)? An experienced builder can actually do the assembly in an hour or so (not including custom water-cooled builds). It probably takes more time to install the OS and drivers for your various components.

It is too bad Microcenter's computers are in-store pick up only, because they are a good value and come with the OS and drivers already installed. I think you can buy parts online and they will ship, but not complete computers.

I recommend to turn down the GPU from intel i7-6700 to i5-6600. Not too much of a difference. Still both very fast. I would also recommend turning down the graphics card from gtx 1080 to gtx 1070. Gtx 1080 is overpriced. It is pretty close to the other good cpu's. Just know that CYBERPOWERPC has been overpriced for years....not happy with the price. Same with IBUYPOWER
