I have to tell you, it's not overly hard to build your own PC, but based on your last post...will you have a PC savvy person to help? No offense. If you don't know what a CPU looks like, then how are you going to know how to correctly apply thermal compound to your CPU cooler, amongst other things. Just my 2 cents.
Now, iBuyPower...I have to say, at 1st I was looking at them and CyberpowerPC...until I started researching them and seeing what people had to say about them. They seem to be hit or miss, either you get a great system and love it, or you get a pile of trouble. many posts of them subbing parts without asking, trouble getting repairs, etc. Here, read some posts at Reselleratings, looks like mostly positive reviews lately. Their prices are certainly good:
iBUYPOWER.COM - ibuypower.com - Reviews, Ratings and Prices at ResellerRatings
BBB rating
BBB Business Review of iBuyPower.com - Computer Dealers Retail - El Monte, CA
iBUYPOWER: High Performance Custom Gaming Computers and Notebooks
CyberpowerPC (quite possibly the same company it is said)
CyberPower PC. - Custom Built Gaming PC and Gaming Laptops
CyberPower / cyberpowerpc.com / cyberpowersystem.com - cyberpowerinc.com - Reviews, Ratings and Prices at ResellerRatings
BBB Business Review of Cyberpower, Inc. - Computer Dealers Retail - Baldwin Park, CA
I made the decision not to go with them because of their reputations, and my ever escalating build quality (lol, I went overkill). Just some food for thought. A Guy
