Newegg's gaming PCs

Ive purchased a few things from newegg, but never a full computer. I was wanting a new computer, and the ones ive been building on a few different websites have been around 2k. Someone showed me this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229125

They said thats better both in power and price. Does newegg often have computers of this power and price? If they don't i imght have to buy it soon, but if they do i could wait a while. Also, how does this computer score on gaming now and in the future?

I never paid much attention to their fully built PC's. But thats a pretty decent PC at a good price. I think the only somewhat disappointing feature is the relativley low hard drive space. You can make a bit better of a PC if you build it yourself, of course, but its not a bad deal. Dont forget the monitor though!

This would also be a great purchase as well.

Total: 940.93 before MIR's or shipping.

Note this build has a higher quality PSU, a faster GPU, faster memory, and a higher-end crossfire supported motherboard. I can't comment on the HDD as I have no idea what the CyberPower build uses.

For the price however, the Cyber Power prebuilt is solid, but not the best value for the money. If you feel uncomfortable with building your own system, the Cyberpower build is a solid choice.

That prebuilt posted by kilerchese is pretty epic. I'm gonna have a hard time besting it :) Good find.

If i did try to build it, what's the worst that could go wrong?

You could get a bad part, just have to RMA it. Most companies will provide support on how to install their products into your PC. The motherboard usually comes with an in-depth manual on how to install all the components though.

The pre-built I posted is really well done though and is extremely hard to beat for that amount of cash.

well he asked waht come down the road .. so he should wait For HD5870x2 :P or buy right now a Recent video card example
and it Easy to beat A cyberpower with own build

GPU :HD5870 1GB 380$ : XFX as Expetional Warranty and unique 1+1 Lifetime warranty = easier to sell on ebay's
CPU Core i7 920 D0 Stepping 255$ + X58 Motherboard 200$-250$
DDR3 : 3x2GB DDR3 around 150$
PSU 750-850W (Will last Lot For Crossfire Setup / Sli Setup) usally 90-140$
case HAF 932 140$ Free Shipping in some sales
DVD Drive 20-30$
Cpu Cooler for Overclocking 40-70$
Window 7 Profesional 64 bits (150$ around)
HDD : Seagate 7200:12 Seagate Barracuda around 95-105$

If need monitor : pick a 1920x1200 of qualtiy

if you do Overclock such as Core i7 920 D0 Steppign can reach 4.2ghz with HAf 932 + prolimatech megahalem + 1 Scythe ultra kaze (total of 190-195$)
it Also seem that Seagate Barracuda 7200:12 being Better then Western Digital Black Caviar Expect 2TB Series with 64MB cache at 299$US

with that ud get around 1200$ PC and it would be Kickass without doubt and being pretty much futureproof as you ask ;) got more Quesiton feel free to ask i'm open for it

But if you want more power and and want to wait bit there is HD5870x2 : rumoured price under 499$US = over 200$ less Expensive then buy TWO HD5870 1GB + CF possible = Insane

You get a dead component. This hasn't happened to me for the last 3 years when I bought a faulty IDE HDD. From what I've heard, Newegg does an excellent job at speedily processing returns.

There are many, many competent guides out there on how to build a PC. AT most, a few hours of reading will show you all the odds and ends of what to do.

+1. I overshot pretty bad while trying to go for the same components. If you feel uncomfortable about building your own system or don't plan on upgrading, the CyberPower i7 build is an excellent choice.

To kilerchese: I dunno if it's just me, but your links are dead :?

i seen is core i7 870 and +P55 it a weaker system then what i could do with that money and for +100-200$ you go like with a HD5870 1GB + core i7 920 D0 Stepping + X58 + 3x2GB DDR3 marcthpro

Well, I haven't much experience with i5's or i7's, so I don't have a clue where I should cut corners and where I shouldn't. I'll take your word for it though.

they are combo of Core i7 + mobo + DDR3 3x2GB sometime at 500$ anyway theny ou add rest and you can up with build at 780$ to 1200$+ with lot of power specially once OC it sure is insane i know hwo to build pc but id have to link all part and then calculate price i can do that :P

but in therm of gaming performacnes wise i still think X58 + Core i7 920 Do Stepping at 4.2ghz Beat core i7 870 & P55 tough the 870 & P55 may cost less

I think you've about talked me into it. Is there any online guides or real books that i can get that are a man's best friend when building his own computer?

Here is a good video of the process.
