What do you guys think of Ibuypower systems? The pre-built systems can be had for around $500, but have mixed reviews and standard spu not the best.
So I stumbled on their site and found a BTS AMD APU on sale in which you can configure your components. So far I picked the Apex EL 660 case, A8-5600k ($30 upgrade over A6-6400k), AMD CPU liquid cooling 120mm fan, Corsair Vengence 8GB, ASRock FM2A75 Pro4, CX430 V2, 2TG 7200rpm (free upgrade over 1TG), LG 24X (can upgrade to LG 12X blu-ray for free), stock 3D surround sound, onboard LAN, Win 8 64 bit + office 2010 free trial, ibuypower gaming keyboard and mouse, free SimCity game and engraving on case, 3 year warranty. For a grand total of $600. A little more than I wanted to spend, but pretty much everything I think I need for a decent and dependable system for the next several years. Anything else I'm missing or may need or not need? Not sure if I need the liquid cooling, could downgrade for -$10. You can add case lighting pretty cheap and the touch screen fan control and temp display looks cool, but probably not worth $50. Also not sure if I would need the blu-ray or 12-in-1 media player for $10? Other than that I would still need a monitor and possibly speakers unless my dells would work, but those are pretty cheap. Any other thoughts?
