Hey everyone,
So I've narrowed it down to these two.

If it weren't for the shifty reviews I've seen so far on iBuypower, the ne653fx would be my first choice. Amd 280x, 3.5 CPU, windows 7 (not a fan of 8), etc. Acer has a great reputation and has never let me down. Just curious what you guys have to say. Either choice ill be upgrading the RAM, but if I'm gonna be dropping just short of a grand I don't want to deal with issues down the road.

Thanks!

It's the ibuypower ne653fx
Or the acer ag3-605-ur38

For 150$ extra I can upgrade the acer from a 760-770. Just wondering how that will weigh on the system

Personally I would go with the acer. The stronger processor will prove itself worthy for a long time and it's very overclockable. While the ibuypower looks good the fx 6300 chip will have a tough time keeping up with the r9 280x. Both will give a great gaming experience but the acer is more upgradable and will serve you better if you do more cpu intensive things as well. Also if you upgrade to the 770 you will probably kill any game, especially if you're only on one monitor. I hope it helped!
