ibuypower repair is bad

After just a week using this computer one of the sticks of RAM went bad, after a month the other piece of RAM went bad. I sent it into repair, I had to pay for shipping it back, and after a month it came back to me with the hard drive busted all up. They said it was do to shipping, so I sent it back again, they paid for shipping this time, after another month it came back with the VGA plug broken and the hard drive wasn't plugged in right. I will not send it back again for repairs, I'm just going to ask them to send me a new video card and never buy from ibuypower again.

IMO best compromise between performance and budget

I was in the process of looking at parts to building my own computer with a budget in mind and was comparing prebuilt models to the specs I had in mind and I come across this model. It was almost verbatim what i was planning on builing, heres the kicker, for around 150 dollars less. I figured same specs, less expensive and no asembly, why not? Keep in mind this will not keep up with the really high end models but should serve extremely well for most people. Will play most of the current market of games very well but if you want to get into hardcore gaming may need to upgrade graphics card for high end play and actaully does video editing well too. I feel this is a very high value for the dollar amount you pay, just remember to get a good monitor to go along with it and you will not be dissapointed.
