Or maybe another? Which one do you think it's better for custom builds? Maybe Ibuypower? Maybe none?

Indeed, makes it so easy, a caveman could do it! I sling that site around anytime someone asks about building a PC.

Would have been handy when I built mine. Oh well, was decently easy to piece something together on NCIX.

I usually look at Tiger Direct, Newegg, or ZipZoomFly.

I used NCIX, but that's cuz they had a local store and it was easiest.

If you are able to build your own then I would. I have built 3 over the years all with parts from Newegg. they have amazing sales, so if you take your time and buy when you can find deals then you will be able to have a great system and save lot of money.

Not sure about now, but newegg has always been a USA exclusive site. Their prices are incredible and make everyone in the EU feel jelly, but what are you gonna do. I guess it's because of the 20% VAT we get.

None. Buy the parts, put them together yourself.

My brother went with ibuypower... let's just say I've probably put more work into that thing than they did. Build it yourself.

I use ibuypower. Building your own is fun, but if something goes wrong - then what? ibuypower lets you pick all the parts and such, but someone else is responsible if something goes wrong.

I recommended iBuyPower to a friend and she didn't have much of an issue with their website. Are you looking for a laptop or a desktop, as that would significantly change my recommendation!

I build my own PCs--I used to build for friends as well, but supporting them became tedious and friends never want to pay for support, so it was simpler to drop that whole "build for others" thing.

Digital storm. A bit more expensive but well worth the cash. Actual customer support and really solid built pc's. Also they use top of the line parts, unlike most budget custom online shops. (most of those you will end up with no name brand pieces) If you check them out and are on a budget, look at the Epoch level 1. You can customize it from there (using expert options) and make it as good and cheaper then some of their "pre-build" comps.

If you need to ask questions like that, just go for Dell or something like that :p

I've used cyberpowerpc on my first pc 3 years ago and am still using it to this day with very little upgrades. Paid about 600$ and it still plays most games without issue or low fps.
