Are these pre-built rigs?

Yep

Where you ordering it from? So far I'd stay far away from option 1... the 500w power supply means you'll have to replace that in the near future for any upgrades...

Option 3 is by far the best of them... AMD chipsets not all that great atm. Prices would also help.

dont use stock case power supplies, upgrade to a decent brand.

they suck.

 

-----signature-----

Option 1 is about 700


Options 2 and 3 about 900

Who is building them? Yes this matters as some companies build in such a way that you cannot upgrade.

CyberpowerPC is the company, only reason I am looking at these is that I have a gift cert so it wouldnt really cost me anything.

Also, how desperate is your need for a new computer right now? As Mithan pointed out yesterday the new ivory bridge comes down soon and that is going to plummet prices on the Sandy bridge... your $900 computer will suddenly be a $600 computer. (and still perfectly capable of playing anything hitting the market right now at full settings and for a couple years to come)

I dont currently have a desk top, that died a couple months ago. I have a laptop thats a few years old. I can basically browse the web and play 4+ year old games on it.
