If they stick with what they're advertising (or major brand = fail sometimes), that's a decent machine. I have to say, it's a pit pricey for the specs. You could most likely shop around and save about $200.

Overall, if you have the money for it and they stick with the listed brands, it's a nice build.

NOTE: If the price is in CND, buy it. No hesitation. ;)
 
CND=canadian i think

Yea your build isn't too shabby.....a bit pricey but thats wats expected when you buy from a company like iBuypower instead of building.

The liquid cooling will probably let you get a decent overclock but the Radiator looks weak at only 120mm so im guesing you will get around 3.6-3.8ghz OC if you do. It was a free upgrade so can't complain.

I recommend getting a 2nd 5770 on your own from Newegg to balance out the performance and get FPS better than 5850/5870.

The PSU is good but im guessing it was a pricey upgrade because all the Corsair upgrade on iBuypower are more expensive.

Not bad in the end, just recommend getting a 2nd 5770 from Newegg.com for $150-170 free shipping.
 
you might want to compare this PC to something of similar stats on NewEgg.com. You might be able to save some money by just building it yourself.
 
haha problem is i cant build it by myself...and i dont know anyone that can build it for me
 
oh yea and pew pew do you mind linking me please? i dont know which one to buy there like a bazillion 5770's on new egg..lol
