Best Buy i7's

[JTM]

I was looking through the Saturday paper and saw this pc w/ a 20 inch lcd for $1099. That's a pretty nice rig for a pre-built. I wish I had waited a little bit before I bought mine. But I should be transferring my build to a custom soon. So what do you think of Best Buy's i7 desktops they offer?

The 350 W PSU works as is, but if you plan on upgrading the video card it will definitely need to be replaced. There is only a single PCIe 16x video slot, so no Crossfire/SLI for you. The DELL bios is locked, so overclocking looks like a no no.

From one of the reviews but if these things are not an issue than that's a great price for a i7/4850 setup

Just reading a little more and maybe this would be better, it has a better power supply, a board that can xfire/sli, triple channel ram instead of duel, the ability to overclock, and more harddrive space for $200 more: http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529668210.php
