I was planning on getting a computer from iBUYPOWER, however reviews seem to be split 50/50 everywhere I've looked, so I'm having second thoughts.
I've never built a PC, and I don't want to destroy it.
I plan to use it for heavy gaming, and I'm not overclocking.
Here's what I was going to buy from iBUYPOWER:
Antec P180 ATX Mid-Tower Case
PC Power & Cooling TURBO-COOL 850 Watt (950W Peak) (Overkill, I know)
[939-pin] AMD® Athlon-64 X2 3800+ CPU w/ Hyper Transport Technology
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe nForce4 SLI-x16 Chipset w/7.1 Sound, Dual Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, IEEE 1394, Dual PCI-E MB
2048 MB [1024MB X2] DDR-400 PC3200 Memory Module Corsair-Value
Nvidia Geforce 7900GT 256MB w/ DVI + TV Out Video
WD Raptor WD740GD 74.0GB 8M Cache Hard Drive
16X Dual Format/Double Layer DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW Drive
12-In-1 Internal Flash Media Card Reader/Writer
MS Windows XP Home Edition w/Service Pack-2
Opti-UPS SS1200-AVR Mighty Voltage Regulator
Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps PCI Adapter
Total: $2,264.00 (This is including an extended warranty, and not including the monitor)
If I were to purchase all the parts from Newegg, is there any place I could have it built for me? Can Newegg assemble it?
I plan to build a PC with very cheap parts sometime in the future, so I can get an idea of how it's done. Until then I don't want to take any chances.
Thanks.
