Need some advise on CyberpowerPCs

Last response: in Deals
Share

Hello,
I am planning to buy a pre-built PC primarily for gaming.
Below is a list of info on the two CyberpowerPCs. The price difference is just $20.

-$1550:
-i7-3820, 3.6GHz
-16 Gb Memory
-1T HDD
-GTX 660Ti 2G

OR

-$1570:
-i7-3770k
-16 Gb memory
-2T HDD + 60G SSD
-ATI 7850 2G

1T of HDD is enough for data storage, so I don't really need the extra 1T + 60G SSD. The comparisons should be just the graphic cards and the CPU.

GTX660Ti is just abit better than the HD7850 and the difference in CPU is debatable. I'm not sure if the $20 is worth it though.

Thanks

what motherboard options/manufacturers?
what RAM (know its 16GB, but what speed and mannie)?
can't beat SSD performance, especially as a boot drive.
SSD and 1TB drive will suffice.
is this purely gaming or productivity?

The $1570 PC is Gamer Aqua GLC2200:
-RAM: 16 GB PC3-10666 (1333 MHz DDR3)
-HDD Spd: 7200 RPM
-Audio Card: Realtek ALC887
-Processor Cache: 8 MB L3
- 2 x PCIe
-Memory Slot 4 Max :D 

--------------------------------------------------------

Th $1550 PC is Gamer Aqua GLC2180:
-RAM same as above
-same
-Audio Card: Realtek ALC892
- Cache 10 MB L3
- 3 x PCIe
- Memory SLot 8 Max.....


.....eh the GLC2180 has alot more advantages over the GLC2200. But the 60Gb SSD really helps with load speed....does it worth it though? 60G SSD worth about $170 at my local store.
And yes this PC is just for gaming :) 

I wanted to build my own PC....but the problem is that I still need to get a legit version of MS windows and MS office, and my local store doesn't sell the Graphic cards that I need (GTX660/670, ATI 7850/7870) all of these + shipping fee is gonna cost alot lol......so I figured why not just get a pre-built PC.

Thank you all for your insights :) 

Thank you all for these nice info, lol in Canada it will prolly cost around $2000+++ with specs like these on a pre built PC, especially with that 7970(around $500 for a 3GD5)....such a ripoff.
As long as I can get a preloaded OS, I'm definitely gonna custom my own pc. Hope the international shipping/custom fee isnt too expensive though.

You can download an .ISO file off of the internet, and just buy a key for windows from eBay or somewhere. It'll only cost you about $30-50 for the key


This is not only a TERRIBLE idea in the respect of it taking 10 hours to download... but most downloaded OS's have key loggers that can and will steal your credit card/bank account/Paypal info.... shell out the 99 bucks and get it from Newegg. unless you get it from the official website, i would avoid it like the plague.

There are sellers on eBay that sell keys, so it's very difficult for them to steal any info. A 2gb Iso file only takes about 3 hours where I live
