What are you going to use it for?

Have you priced the individual components on Newegg?

 

[Twoboxer]

I'm not gonna price out a self-build - you can do that yourself using Neweeg as suggested - but the price seems high for a 2600k, 2x570, and a 120GB SSD without a monitor . . . unless I missed it in that list lol.

The build itself is decent if you intend to game at 2560 resolution. Its way overkill at 1920 . . . but hey, you can never have too much horsepower if budget allows.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

I'd be interested to see what cable management they manage to pull off in the Rider,
and ultra care option for transit? [insert profanity here]
you pay for a pc, they damn well better pack it properly without charging you extra, hell no Cp, thats just icky....

You don't need a UPS and a surge protector. A UPS is much better and surge protection than any "surge protector." In most UPSs if the voltage gets above a certain point (140V on mine) the unit will just cut the power and use the battery until it goes back to normal. This is far better than any unit without a battery can do.

I would like to play the witcher 2 with good frame rates. Just would like to know if what im thinking of getting is overpower or really good. I wont be buying any time soon, just seeing if i could get a good powerfull system on cyberpower for the money right know. Also im not the smartess when it comes to computer hardware, so any suggestions or tips would be highly appreciated.

 

[danraies]

dual 570's should play anything for the next year without any problem. I don't know enough about the game to know if it's overkill, but I would be really surprised if you need more than that.

What monitor are you using?

What monitor are you using?

I didn't select a monitor cause i could just go out to bestbuy or futureshop and get a LED 1080p monitor.

If you dont plan on buying it soon, I'd take the time between now and then to learn a bit about building yourself,
seriously, you'll rarely consider buying shopbought again once you know how easy it is
fill this in with your requirements, http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261222-13-build-advice
and see what builds come up from people, then compare them to the Cp build
and work through this, http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/288241-13-read-posting-buyer-guides-troubleshooting theres a lot of info in there and you will see for yourself how easy it can be
*Edit, I reckon stick with the Dragonrider case if you like it, I love mine and its only a build in progress hehe that I'm probably selling once finished*
