If you are going to buy a computer from Cyberpower, and you live in the US (maybe Canada too), I can't stress enough how much better it is to buy from them direct rather than Amazon or Newegg. All you have to do is go to their site, start with a base (e.g. Gamer Xtreme 2200), and then add and subtract components as you please. The amount of customization you can have on a build is definitely comprehensive imo. You have more than enough wiggle-room to find an acceptable price vs. performance ratio. This is no substitute for buying and building yourself, but it's a great deal better than getting stuck with whatever some 3rd party is offering.
Cyberpower also has specific brands available for the components you'll receive (cooling, mobos, PSUs, HDDs, some RAM and GPUs) so you have more knowledge about what'll make it into your system. The only thing that really bites is the shipping. It was like $80 or something, but that's actually pretty much what it costs them to send it to you (note: I've worked shipping things all over the country). Still, just figure that into whatever price you're aiming for. I bought straight from them; it's been about a year and I couldn't be happier
