If you're going to build yourself check youtube for how to vids. I didn't really know anything about bnuilding PC's but after a week of planning, watching videos and browsing forums I bought the parts and put it together no problem. Newegg has a good series on how to build a pc on you tube and Tom's Hardware forums are pretty good for info as well. I wanted to correct an earlier post I had saying that cyberpower had crappy PSU's, I was wrong, it was IBuyPower PC's that had the bad PSU's.
