this is the first time ive seen this good of a deal on a prebuilt. id do the 970 upgrade

could you clarify this: HDD: 240GB AMD Radeon R7 Series by OCZ SATA-III 6.0Gb/s SSD - 550MB/s Read & 530MB/s Write (Single Drive)

an AMD Radeon R7 is a video card series. OCZ doesnt make AMD Radeon R7. could you get the OCZ model?

So total would be 1311.99 after tax.
But the closest microcenter is like a 6 hour drive away :/

At least I'm on the right track as far as cost goes.

Think 8GB of RAM would be ok with the motherboard/CPU I have?
I wanted it to be as balanced as possible.






Thanks, I thought so as well.
Upgrade to 970 would be $128 more


well if u get all that for that price and can afford 128$ dont think i can beat that pricing pretty good what company and warranty?

Get the 970.


/e it'll give you a LOT more time to wait for the next gen cards.

SERVICE: STANDARD WARRANTY: 3-YEAR [3 Year Labor, 1 Year Parts] LIMITED WARRANTY PLUS LIFE-TIME TECHNICAL SUPPORT]

It's from cyberpowerpc. Was referred to them from a friend.
Some bad reviews, but that's pretty normal.

Yeah I looked at some bad reviews that I saw that worried me.
But isn't that the case with every company?

Every bad review I saw, it seems to have got resolved.
Just a bad experience from the customer viewpoint.

But absolutely man.. I'm totally open to other options.
If I can get a really good rig at a good price, then I'll take it. I'm not impulsive lol
