should i buy this pc or build my own?

Ive been looking to build myself a pc for the last couple months. been researching what I was gonna buy. Planned on buying the parts through tigerdirect. my goal was to spend about 2k on it, but yesterday I hit a speedbump. I saw a prebuilt computer on newegg. Heres the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229192. It's a pretty good deal it seems. I literally couldnt build a comp with those specs for that cheap. That cpu cost 1k alone....

But im skeptical.....

mainly because its a cyperpower pc and ive heard some horror stories, but I am getting it through newegg who is reliable.

So tell me... what do you guys think? should I pull the trigger? or build my own even through I couldnt build a computer with those specs in my budget range for that cheap?

Thx in advance guys.

what you gonna be using it for? that cpu and ram seem a bit overkill

I would go pre-build if its a good deal. If anything goes wrong you have a fall back. Plus its ready to go out a box. Self build is good if you have time, patients and will save money in the process.

yeah i guess i forgot to mention what i was gonna use it for. Ill be using it for gaming of course, but im also in college to be a 3d animator. So ill also be using a lot of Maya, photoshop and illustrator.

good pc but it would be better to visit cyberpowerpc.com and ibuypower.com to build pc there NLahren

Ive visted both. if i was to build a pc with these same specs it would cost me a lot more than if i bought this pre-built one on newegg. a comp with almost identical specs on cyberpower is just shy of 3k.

$2,000 and it doesnt even have a xFi sound card, how insulting.

I think you could build one yourself and get bettter specs for a lower price.V4LENT1NE

build one on your own, here is a start, this processer is amazing and way cheaper. get all the parts on newegg

AMD PHENOM II x6 3.2GHz, thats 300$ for a hexacore!

The Phenom X6 is a waste of time for games. The way I see it is that PC is a good deal, you probably can get a cheaper PC with compromise but is it worth it?
The entire PC is going to last a long time, the CPU/MOBO/RAM wont need upgrading for some time, its watercooled so you can put what ever graphics card in and overclock its balls off. Plus its a prebuld so you get a guarantee if it dies without the danger of killing it in the building stage.
