No don't. You're better off building one yourself. It's much cheaper, and you have precise control over what you need.
Besides, the PC werewolf showed you has a H61 chipset. It doesn't support overclocking (very handy, and recommended for Dolphin) and SATA-III.
It basically renders the unlocked 3570K useless.

What's your budget?

I don't have a budget but I think that 800 is quite goodBig Grin. Anyway I prefer buy a new pc instead to build one by myself 'cause I'm not as good as u thinkConfused

Fwiw, if anyone ever buys from CyberPower, I'd advise that they buy it direct from them (probably not an option for the OP, living in Europe). Every build is highly customizable on their site, and you can pare down a lot of the extras and get (usually) exactly what you want. I saved about $120 when they built my rig. Shipping prices are bogus though. :/

I'm not into system building either, at least not from the ground up, and this rig was a grad gift, so the folks were paying for it Big Grin At any rate CyberPower's 3 year warranty on my entire system is pretty sweet, though I'm fairly sure they factored that into the cost (even if they said it's "standard.") I'll probably be looking for a new system in three years anyway.
$800 is plenty, and should get you a great rig for all purposes.

Building one yourself starts with selecting components that work with each other.
We can help you with that, should you take this route.
You then assemble the PC yourself, if you got the skills, or let them(the place you purchase it from) do it. (Usually shops give the options to let them assemble it, for a price ofcourse).

As Shonumi said, should you purchase a CyberPower PC for instance, go to their website instead of buying it from a reseller.

Let us know which path you'll take.
