Solved Boutique PC $1500-2000

[Computer0304]

OK so I will choose CyberPowerPC. They have components that are actually very close to what I would want in my dream PC. Have you ever bought a PC from them?

 

[Computer0304]

Also, should I buy the care like better packaging and etc?

I wish this were an option for me: Custom Gaming PCs | Micro Center

I think I'll grab one of their $99.99 beasts.

I am thinking $99 would be a LGA 775 with a HD4670 that is a beast right there with 4GB of some random memory from the goodie jar you must take that part of that 99.99 goes to a hard drive too

Erm, that's their price to assemble it not the price of the system... you buy the hardware there and they put it together just like the OEM's would, test it and install the OS for you as well and their price is still a hell of a lot cheaper than OEM's 300% markup to do the same thing but for inferior performance hardware too. Sorry, just trying to help. Never mind, glad you sorted it.

Aww crap, I knew there was a catch.

 

[Computer0304]

Also, should I get liquid cooling or air cooling? I'm going to have CyberPower over clock it 10% since all X79 processors available are K or X.

 

[Britton30]

I'd recommend liquid closed loop with either a 240mm or 280mm radiator, which ever fits in the case.

lol i know Buddy we were just having fun with it i am a Microcenter Junkie

@Computer i never bought a pre-built system from them but Newegg is always selling their products

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

The one time I went with a builder, I wound up with an overpriced POS that didn't fully meet my needs. That convinced me to learn to build my own. I had a huge amount of help from this forum and others like it (but not equal to it).

 

[Computer0304]

The ones on Newegg are premade configs. I want to by one of the custom ones. Jeannie, I am willing to pay the price of an prebuilt system. Britton, I am just kind of worried that water may leak. Are the CyberPower custom water cooling sets worth it? Well, actually, I guess the motherboard would be kind of protected if CyberPower uses the armor that comes with Sabertooth boards.

 

[Britton30]

If you're worried about water, don't get it. Armor is not protection against water leaks.

 

[Computer0304]

But how long will typical water cooling last? If they do not last long, I will choose to get the Thermal take Frio OCK. Also, what case do you guys recc for this motherboard? https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/CyberPower_X79_Configurator/

...Jeannie, I am willing to pay the price of an prebuilt system...

My issue was less with price and more about quality and getting what I want.

Unless you plan on serious overclocking, air cooling is plenty. Water involves more maintenance and water leaks tend to cause more potentially fatal problems than air leaks.

 

[Computer0304]

OK so 10% over clock will be fine with the Frio OCK, which is actually meant for OC.

I told you, I'm too chicken to do it.

I don't recall you telling me. Certainly not in this thread.

They would put the system together with the selected components

Water is truly not needed unless you are doing extreme overclocks

You can get a detailed list from what you want Cyberpower to put in and match prices to see how much over they are charging you

Chances are they are on target and would charge about $150.00 to $200.00 for parts and OS install

so pretty much you build a $1000.00 PC look to be paying 1250.00 possible total pre built with what you like

this would be round the price for someone putting a machine together for you also remember you can mix and match parts there are endless combinations for your budget if you choose correctly

 

[Computer0304]

Like I said before, I am willing to pay the price.
