Help - cyberpower vs diy

[sc_gator95]

Hi all,

Looking to replace my 4 year old pc. I could build my own or get the exact same motherboard/processor/ram & better video card, minus an OS for less at Cyberpower. My question is, should I? Cyberpower seems to have some short-comings.

DIY specs: AMD Athlon 64 3800+
1 Gig Ram
Geforce 7600 GT
320 gig hd
MSI K9N SLI Platinum nForce 570 SLI motherboard
Plain case with 400 watt power supply & fan
All from newegg & fryes - $900 plus shipping with winxp home

Cyberpower same specs, same motherboard, same processor, better case, better cooling, no OS, with an ATI Radeon 256mb X1950 PRO pci-e
all for $875.

Which would you do?

2GB of RAM but the mobo is not SLI, which isn't a problem if you're not going to run 2 video cards. If you are, you can get a good SLI mobo for $20 more
