-For a reason unknown to me, I can't find any 1155 motherboard with the P67 chipset at Newegg that isn't either deactivated or sold-out. Odd.

-Do you plan on overclocking or adding a second video card in the future? (Needed to determine the adequate model of RAM, motherboard, and PSU)

0/10.

Build it yourself.

for a prebuilt system it is 9.2/10

I did the comparison and you are actually right... sorta. However with the build I worked out I noticed quickly that you are getting older hardware with Cyberpower.

For example the COOLER MASTER HAF 922 is on Newegg for $100 with freeshipping
Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4-B3 for $190 (notice the UD4 instead of UD3 difference in the name.)

CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K

Going with a 2500K makes much more sense if you plan to overclock and will save you money.

HDD: Primary 64GB A-Dada S501 V2 Gaming SSD

Wouldn't recommend this. Better OCZ drives out there for likely cheaper than whatever Cyberpower is charging you.

Memory: 8GB DDR3/1600MHZ Corsair or major brand

I do not trust this at all. Even worse it doesn't give latency timings or if its 2x4 or 4x2.

Video: Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 1.2GB

I would much rather just go with 2X GTX 460's which would be similarly priced. In-fact if you can grab two on sale like I did recently is will cost about $40 less.

PSU: Raidmax RX-1000AE Gold 80 Plus

I'm sorry but I just wouldn't ever buy a Raidmax PSU they are borderline generic in quality. I'd buy this instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006


So... in summary going with Cyberpower seems similarly priced but you are actually getting some outdated hardware as well as lesser quality hardware.
You would no doubt build a superior PC with that pricetag.

Thanks for the very detailed reply Nuclear Shadow. Words of wisdom.

Most people that post in cyberpower area are not going to build there own or want to so why do you even comment---

op build the computer with the h67 confige and add the p67 mobo and 2500k because this way you dont have to get a gpu then you can take the money saved and get a gtx 580 for the same price.

I have built over 30 computers about 5 for personal use the most recent build is a cyber power with all named brand top of the line parts. Anyway I watched there pricing I paid 100$ more then I would if i built it myself buying from newegg. I am a fan of thier centralized warrenty, as opposed to dealing with multiple vendors. (Newegg is one vendor, I'm winging it here) I feel as if I will leave this to the the techs at Cyberpowerpc.


There, I turned that broken mess into english for you.

Now I can awnser it.

1. Newegg is one vendor, and they have great warrenty. Manufacters have even better 3 year + warrantys.

2. Cyberpower uses trash parts, its all old, cheap outdated tech.

Look at the PSU, Memory, etc.

2.

Lol, another youngster who's smart as hell----Neweggs warrenty? You only get that if you pay extra. Other then the manufactors there is no warrenty. You have to pay for shipping to when you rma. With Cyberpower they ship you the new part first with-out you having to pay for it.

Not only do you get a 30 day warranty from newegg, the manufacter provides a 3 year or more warranty.

ANd shipping for RMA is free with any decent company.

[herpity]

I've RMA'd with most of those companies, and they cover the shipping fee.

 

[Deleted member 362816]

Well the companey i work for rma's to those companeys about 1-2 times each a month shipping isnt free to them its free back, EVGA and XFX have never covered shipping to them.

Lol, ok


Op I reccomend cyberpower for yoU there pcs are quailty built. If i were you i would not go with major brand ram its crap from CP. go with Corsair dominator. Other then that the build looks good and you will enjoy it. I would also use the norush code and wait 3 weeks for it you save 5% and the computer will be put together alot better.

To herpity-its pointless arguing with a vetren sorry i should have no started crap and you should have let off we made this thread of topic.

My grammer sucks idc my help is good thats why im number 3 in cpu and componets for the month.
