Was curious what you guys/girls thought about these 2 rigs and what you would choose given prices and goals, system #1 or system #2. Please feel free to post up, value all your opinions. Another option of course is something different then above that will perform the same and cost less. I priced these out to build it myself and it came to $1012 before tax, figured the extra $100 was worth the support and me not having to build it. Let me know what you think. Curious about the 2 company's also, not familiar with either but both "appear" to build excellent systems.

Thanks again.

Actually, they are both pretty similar component-wise. The first choice has an OC'd graphics card. But more importantly, if you ever plan on doing 2 cards, the first choice has better PCIex16 slot configuration. You can run 2 cards at x16, x8. Whereas the 2nd choice limits you to x16, x4 when running two cards. Trust me, you don't want to do x4 with a 2nd 560ti. So my choice would obviously be the one with the Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 motherboard.

I bought a system from cyberpower once with the same logic, I found I prefer making my own computers...no issues from cyberpower, prompt delivery, got exactly what I asked for.
