Hello all! i would love some feedback on this computer i plan on building this month, it will be my 2nd gaming computer ive owned since the one i have now is getting old(about 5 years)and i think its time to retire.

But ive got a few questions because i dont really like buying stuff online, I have a gaming computer I've picked out on best buy that i like, but ive been hearing bad things about buying from stores and cheap parts that come with.

this is the one at best buy im looking at

CyberPowerPC Gamer Ultra Desktop 8GB Memory 1TB Hard Drive GUA440 - Best Buy


Vs the one i want to build, please let me know if i am leaving anything out, or if you recommend anything else, i really want to try to stay under 800$

All feedback is very much appreciated
 
For the price, the graphics power in both are terrible. This is where buying a pre-built gets you. 700-800 bucks can get you about 2x the amount of graphics horsepower if you retain the FX6300 in a custom machine.
