I did a price compare between those sites and pcpartpicker////newegg///tigerdirect and they were actually a little cheaper with all the sales/deals they had going on.

Also, I don't know how you can call their components crap when you can literally choose which components you get. Like....I can get a GTX 970 or 980 or titan same as I could from newegg.

Helping people on this forum is nice and all but making shit up without providing a single shred of evidence supporting your claims doesn't help anyone.


OP if you like those sites definitely take a look at them. You may also like some of the additional things they offer.


I Messed around with it a few weeks ago because I don't want to build my own and found cyberpowerpc with 5% discount to be pretty nice, I was comparing a $1200 build. Was like $100 more on cyberpower compared to a similar build on pcpartpicker, not bad for having it build, with Os, and keyboard/moose.

I like to search things before I buy and found it and ibuypower to have horrible reviews. Alot were about horrible customer service, and damaged parts.

lil cheaper lol
the fact that you used pcpartpicker to compare prices with the same parts a prebuild had to offer is falling for their strat.
that's called solid marketing for nubs, cos u dont search up pcpartpicker for their overpriced shitty parts, when better parts can be had for cheaper. That's the difference.

You could have built a pc though NCIX, they charge $50 to build it and you choose the exact parts that go in the system.

Return it before you regret your decision

sir thats not choosing components thats telling them what tier you want'


not all gtx970/980's are built the same

ideally you want an MSI/Asus for #1 cooling

you have 0 input on PSU's/Mobo's/Ram/Gpu/

being able to choose what amount/speed is a fucking joke compared to what you actually get to choose in building/

and IDFK how you got even remotly the same price buying a prebuilt/vs building but ull have to show me because 90% are atleast 3-400 bucks over

You do chse the company type on their site just don't have many option. You are able to choose between different type mobo, PSU. For example, messing around I chose GIGABYTE GA-Z170X GAMING 3 and EVGA Supernova Gold 750. RAM you are pretty much stuck with ADATA XPG can upgrade to Ripjaws but it's like 90+ more. As for GPU, AMD you are pretty much stuck with 1 option, Geforce you can get have a choice between 2 different EVGA, ASUS Turbo, and NVIDIA.

Not defending him with prices. As I said before I messed with it but it was like $100-$120 more than buying similar parts.
