HI, first time posting a question as I just stumbled on this site. I'm looking to upgrade my pc as my 6 year old hp is lagging behind in cpu for new games. I love gaming as a hobby but I don't have the budget for a top-of-the-line right-out-the-box pc. I stumbled on this pc though (haven't actually bought it)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229495R
and thought it was pretty good for the price and memory. I've never bought a cyberpowerpc before and I'm planning to move my Corsair 650w to it and give it this graphics card (already bought)

(it is the GTX 970 sc, not the ssc)
Which would seem to solve most of it's problems. I'm hoping to not spend too much on anything else, but please offer any feedback you have. I'm terrible at finding cheap enough supplies to build a computer and building it myself (I'm planning to just send it to Best Buy to change out the parts, sorry if that's heresy) but is everything solid enough or should I be worried about something I'm not seeing? Any info from a possibly better pc to what else to improve would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

If I can find a cheaper total cost for a better pc and had to build from scratch, I'd do it myself at that point.

Minus the power supply, storage and video card to make 447.43, then add 103 for a 2tb storage, would make little over $550. I must admit, that sounds a lot better, and that site seems incredibly useful. Thanks for the specs and introducing me to the site, it's a real help. Will the case be able to hold more than one hard drive? I'm not sure how it would work, and It would be a real pain to transfer everything over through an external drive.

Changed a few things, but thanks to you and that site, I ordered all the components and saved about a hundred bucks. Consider me a believer in building your own pc. Thanks for answering my nighttime questions MasterDell.
