of buying a CyberPower PC Black Pearl
Any thoughts/suggestions?
=O

Also, sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

Don't dump money on a pre-built cyberpower comp. Just buy everything separately and build one for cheap. Those pc's are jacked the hell up in price for whatever odd reason. Most of them have crappy plastic cases as well.

Whoa, I looked up this PC and it really gives you the maximum amount of customization possible.

That said, you could get the exact same thing and build it yourself for probably a LOT less money. I suggest against ever getting a pre-built system.

It's because many people will pay much more for a powerful computer that has "AlienWare" written on the side, as opposed to a plain one with the same power.

I'm not really worried about the money issue. I'm more or less worried with is there a big difference in me piecing a comp together or just buying this one. (Other then the money)

Well, if you build one, you'll save money, which will let you put more powerful stuff into the PC.

The advantages do DIY are pretty vast compared to pre-built. It's also extremely easy nowadays, which I find most people don't realize.

Newegg has computer hardware for piss-poor. Mess around on there 8hour. Do your own calculations of better hardware + prices compared to cyberpower and you will see just how much money you can save. I know you said you don't care about the money but when it's hundreds of dollars it's worth it.

I think you should totally buy it, wait with an exacting patience until its arrival, receive the box it came in with arms outstretched, then throw it to the ground and summarily stomp the parcel into a fine dust, because you are a man and men do not need fancy computers to ascertain the power of their minds.

QFT. If you're willing to put one together yourself, you'll save money. However, if you're NOT willing to, CyberPowerPC is one of the best companies you can shop at. So you're still making a pretty smart decision.

If you're gunna build a custom, it may be cheaper to find a good deal on a legit barebones kit, then buy the other necessities separately, from tigerdirect.com or newegg.com. Sometimes you can get better deals on barebones rather than the individual parts separately.

This.

I built my i7 with a 460 and enough ram to make Crysis 2 cry for under 700 Canadian.

They ALWAYS have retarded sales going on at some point for something.

I think I picked up a 750w i7 power supply for 49.99 as well, which is mad cheap.

DONT BUY PRE MADE COMPUTERS EVER.
