Gaming PC//Laptop

[RAZOR0018]

Can any one recommend a consistantly good, trust worthy, and well known site that sells Gaming Desktops to some one who does not know how to build a computer?

Ive been searching around websites like Cyberpower only to find out they have many negative reviews on them. I have been recommended Velocity Micro but not sure if they are the best for what I am looking for.

I prefer to have no crapware installed with the pc on arrival and for it to come with all drivers currently installed also placed on removable media (Rescue Disk) for convience. Technical support would also be nice.

Thanks in advance.

You're right in avoiding Cyberpower,they have one of the worst reputations among builders. IBuyPower is another one to avoid,very similar to Cyberpower,flashy ads,low prices,and a ton of dissatisfied customers. Velocity Micro was good once,
but has gone down considerably in quality.
The three best builders I found in my search for a new system were Puget Computers, Maingear,and Maxforce PC. I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. Your decision depends on what price and type of system you're looking for.

Try this one dude: Falcon Northwest Computer Systems, The Ultimate Gaming PCs.

Or my company called: Hairy Canary Computers.

Falcon is good,no doubt about it. But you'd better have a big wallet before you buy there!

Fair point, Michaels...If someone wants a new rig every five years or less, then I would agree that the cost is high...

This why I am leaning towards another self built box...Yes, I am paying significantly more for the OS, but on the other hand I am taking out the markup, which I am a summing is 25%.

FBT,
I do believe that you have been advised before (and had posts edited) about continuously posting in large/bold faced type.

Please refrain from using such fonts or bold text, unless being used for emphasis for parts of you posts. (ie. words in sentences or sentences in paragraphs) Perhaps even look into using the underlined function.

Thanks,

It is rare for me to use anything over size three, Master Nomaxim, unless someone is changing it...

Do you have a link? If you do not provide an example, then I will email you..

Perhaps there is a failure with the software being used hear..

Nomaxim, you have been editing my last several post because I am using Comic Sans MS fonts? ..

Can you please show me where the rules say we can not use certain fonts..

Thanks,

FBT...

Thanks for the recommendation, Michael!

OP, we'd love to earn your business.

Nice recommendations! But gaming computers are normally expensive, right?
