Can anyone figure this out. I went to Ibuypower.com and built a gaming rig to see what the cost would be to have someone else build it and send it to me. Then I took all of the parts from the Ibuypower build and looked them up on Newegg.com to see what it would cost to build it myself. To my surprise, the newegg build was about 400 dollars more expensive? How is that possible? here is the build. Some of the parts might not be EXACT such as the case and a few other smaller things. Ok have fun!
