yes , i have tried building the same pc with parts but it ends up around same price or more. I don't build PC's anyways :rolleyes:
 
The prebuilts have a really weird and wrong price distribution firstly the the i7 build has 12gigs of ram but uses a GTS 250 LOL

Build your own system will be cheaper all the above systems are crap
 
you should definitely try building one yourself. if you don't want to, i would go with the second one (out of those). if you do decide to build yourself, the second one has some good starting points.
 
Funny, I would have said #2 is the worst and #1 is the best of those specs. Then upgrade the GPU to a decent gaming GPU if you are spending that much money.

However, all of those suck for gaming at that price and specs. For instance #1 should be minus 6gb and the extra $160 could go to a decent GPU.
 
Definantly Build yourself you can't trust these pre-built machines as they use inferior parts such as motherboard, ram and psu that won't be upto spec and therefore will not last as long. Aswell as this you will not recieve the full performance unless better parts were used which would be if you decide to build yourself.

Not the best combination for the price...

#1 Reduce 12GB RAM to 6GB, change the GTS 250 to 5850

Or
#3 Downside is you can't play DX11 game. Change dual GTX 260 to single 5850/ 5870 if possible.

Another problem is you don't know what PSU in the case...

Nice build comcrush its pretty much the exact same as mine you can run anything on it no drama's and will do for some time. I would suggest though that your motherboard either be a P6T Deluxe V2 (much better and bang for buck) or you could look at some USB 3.0 Motherboards. (faster usb interface)
