Hello,
I am new here and in the market for a custom built gaming machine. I investigated a lot of company's and settled on Cyberpower. I have built rigs in the past but the new technologies have left me in the dark on a number of fronts. Below is my tentative build. It seems a little expensive and was wondering where I could cut corners. The base build can be found here:
AMD Quad Core Configurator
My build is as follows, please feel free to tell me where I can cut a few corners and save some dough or put my money towards better components. I play mostly FPS's, COD(All Titles), HL2, and want a machine that will have no problem eating up Crysis. Final price on this is $1967.00.
Thank you
