Its that time finally to buy a new one

[smegmage]

Avoid cyber power like the plague, especially their prebuilts. They use some extremely low quality generic components, and their quality control/break in tests are extremely short. They ship a lot of units which end up needing to be RMA'd, and their customer service is terrible.

Don't just take my word for it, visit their official forum. Very low quality company.

I suggest checking out the I Buy power website, they let you customize it very well and they build it professionally if you're not looking to build one. They also have great deals. For almost every week. I got free liquid cooling and a second graphics card free crossfired... and upgraded motherboard etc.

It was 700$ off 7990's the other day, not sure what it is right now. If you live in the states it's well worth it. ( I live in Canada the broker fee was stupid )


Edit : iv bought 2 off Ibuypower Website, very well made imo and their support is GREAT. also I got about 500$ worth of parts free.

ASRock Z87 Pro3 from ibuypower is sufficent enough for an i7 and some basic over clocking?
