Unfortunately I am not skilled enough to make my own or I would and cheaper as well.

Can anyone reccomend any good sites or had great expereiences with building your computer online and having it shipped to you?

Just as an example of what I am talking about.

Thanks for any help or ideas

Should post this in hardware - start with your price range.

The price difference can be approx $300-$500 between a prebuilt and self built, maybe more, depending on sales prices and such.

Major differences - Will revise it, or others can.

$110 difference - i7 (4core+4Hyperthread) vs i5(4core) and a 500mhz speed difference.

Hmm, Nvidia 970 vs Nvidia 750 Price differences vary from $213 to $163 (currently not sure why the huge difference between both machines but likely due to the price difference for the built-in GPU on the CPU, weird).

If you go with the Nvidia 970 the i7 would be $1359 before taxes/etc vs i5 $1172. Stay with the K series, as that allows OC when you are up to it.

edit - I would suggest changing the PSU to one of the Corsair, as I am not sure who the basic PSU mfg.

Thanks for the info and the Heads up about the haardware section. Been on these forums since the start and had no idea we had one.

Darian Delford,

IF you are still interested in having a rig built and feel you can't do it yourself, I would be willing to discuss building one for you that's is within your budget.

PM me if you are interested still.
