Default Building my first comp. - have a few questions

Hey guys, hopefully this is the right forum. If it belongs in tech. support please just move it over.


With that said, I am thinking of building a computer purely for gaming. I have never done this before, all of my computers have been pacakged deals from either walmart or dell website.

I have been looking at the below website alot and had thought about buying one from them. Has anyone had any experience with this site? I dont want to get ripped off if I decide to just buy it from them.

After customizing a computer on this site I decided to go to new egg and see if it would be cheaper to build one. What I did is customize a computer on cyberpower and then model for model entered each piece of hardware in new egg to get a price.

I was surprised to find that if I build it myself I would only save about $100. Doesnt really seem worth it to me considering the time it would probably take me to put it together.

Also I am thinking of using an AMD processor. I have always had intel ones, I have read they are both great and you cant go wrong with either one.

If ya'll could give me any advice I would greatly appricieate it.
