I totally agree with everybody that says you should buy your own parts. For a little over 1,000 dollars I've got a very powerful computer that would have cost twice as much had I bought something from a company. I have raided ssd's for the OS and 2 separate 4tb hdd's for storage. A quadcore processor running stock at 4ghz and a decent graphics card. I also bought a massive heatsink for the processor. Overheating problems aren't such a big problem like they used to be. Modern cpu's use less power than their predecessors usually. Instead of buying a psu with 1200 watts or some crap I bought the sturdiest and best rated 600 watt power supply I could find. The coolermaster case I stuck all of the parts in cost me 20 bucks and it looks great. Seriously, buying something from a company is not a good idea. 10 years ago it was difficult to put components together and it was very easy to order something that didn't plug into the other something properly but everything is plug and play today. You just have to make sure you get the right cpu,mobo,ram combo and everything else just hooks right up. Anyway, that's my 2 cents lol.
