ibuypower build

[Black Sheep]

Okay so I am about to by myself a new PC from ibuypower and here is my build

What can I improve on? Has anyone else here bought a PC from ibuypower?

I would up the power supply wattage. I just got a 295 and my 750w PSU would not run it without crashing the machine. I would go for a 1000w PSU just to be on the safe side. That will allow you to upgrade from what you will be getting here.

Everything else looks ok...

make sure you can upgrade that vista to 7 when its out ^_^ (seeing lotsa companies offering a free upgrade, dont know if its a ms thing or a seller thing, but i would suggest that if you can, go for it)

I would suggest buying the pieces of something like newegg.com and assemble it yourself or make a friend do it.

700 W PSUs are a myth. A machine like that will run perfectly fine with a quality 450 W PSU (something like Corsair VX450, PCP&C Silencer 510, Enermax PRO82+ or MODU82+). Upgrade headroom is also a myth. A PC in the same functionality class one year later will draw similar amount of power. Upgrade headroom is only needed if you plan to upgrade from a single GPU to dual PGU setup, or from a low power dual core CPU to something like Core i7.

I'm with DreAz on this one, it is always cheaper if you can buy the parts, trust me, its like putting a kids puzzle together now on putting a computer together

How in the name of christ is all that so cheap?!

Companies like Dell and HP are very much overpriced.

Even that website is overpriced. I built a rig on there and then on Newegg and I had a few better parts on Newegg at about $200 lower.
