Is this worth the money?
http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Dragon_9500/
Was going to build a gaming PC. Then came across this. I have $1500 to spend but that would include a new monitor. Looking around will set me back $200. So any input would be great. |

Give us your budget and tell us if you Intel or AMD.
Your link is a joke.

Before I bought my gaming rig, I did alot of research and cyberpower pc's didn't have the best reliability ratings from previous owners. Building your own will give you the best bang for your buck, I would have done that but just didn't have the time so I bought an Alienware. That said, if I had it to do over, I should have bought a rig from Falcon Northwest, since Dell bought Alienware, quality is not the same.

In your $1500 price range, the best bang for the buck is going be building your own computer.
Pam, the AMD you listed is a link to the Intel Q9550 for $280. For that price I would pick the Intel i7-860 and Asus board with a P55 chipset and 4 gigs of DDR3 dual channel 1600 RAM. A non-high end gamers board like the P7P55D Deluxe board would be fine. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131400 With a $1500 budget, I would spend an additional $50 and bump the graphics card up to a 5870
