Hey guys,
I was looking at IBUYPOWER.com to build a PC. However, their reseller ratings are very very low. Are there other sites that will build a computer for you that also offer the low prices of IBUYPOWER.COM? I do not know how to build a system by myself. Thank you.

Dell, HP, etc are out of the question as you can not overclock them. I would like a custom built pc that I can overclock. Your help will be much appreciated.

For your pocketbooks sake and your computing pleasure take some time to learn about PC's. Hang out in the forums and learn a little bit about good rigs.
Then go to Newegg. They have everything under the sun.

For a quick lesson on how to build a PC, I would just look into a recent thread a dad posted about letting his two young children build a PC. It will show you a lot of what you need.

Whatever you do, do NOT buy from Ibuypower, or Cyberpower PC. As far as I know, there is no builder in that price range that is reliable.

Build it yourself, you will have a much better job.
here is the page for the guy who built a pc with his children:
