Looking to purchase a gaming PC.
#1
Hello SF.

I've been searching into getting a new gaming PC as of late.

My price range is $1000-2000.

So far I've been eyeing the custom PC's at http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/
and of course alienware (overpriced)

Anyway, any suggestions are welcome Yeye

Most online gaming sites sell their products for more than what they're worth.

Have you ever considered buying your parts individually then building it to really get the bang for you buck?

Yes I have. But I think I would feel better about myself if I paid the extra couple hundred bucks to get a professional to build it for me.

But yeah, it's in the back of my mind.

With that budget I'd recommend something a long the lines of :

Sandybridge i7 2600K
Asus IV Maximus motherboard
ATI HD 6970
NZXT Phantom case (I'm in love with mine)
60GB SSD drive
2TB of storage
Dual layer DVD burner
~750W Coolermaster PSU
Would come up to around ~1600-1800 I should think.

With this amount of money I suggest building your own PC. It's not as hard as it sounds, it's a lot funner, and it comes out the way that you want it too.

Websites like iBUYPOWER and CyberPower PC are shown to lack reliability in several reviews.

If you're willing to spend that much money, try building one yourself. If you are interested in this, reply back and I'll come up with a list for you.

Alienware is a rip, they just get a funny looking case, and slap that brand on..
1 - "Whoa that looks cool does it run Crysis?"
2 - "Sure... Let's go with that!"

Go to http://www.tigerdirect.com and look around.

I would recommend a 64 bit.
With 2000 USD you could get something very nice.
