Just for giggles, I took a kind of low-mid range build they had...this one to be exact: [URL]http://www.digitalstormonline.com/compload300R.asp?id=676262&price=%241%2C397[/URL] and compared prices for the same (exact same on most items) parts with what Newegg was charging. To be honest, I was quite surprised.....
While this is not necessarily precisely the exact rig that I would recommend, I was trying to see find one that was close to the price and feature range of the one in your OP. Its not a bad rig, tbh. But what surprised me was how close to the "build your own" price they were.
For example (all US $ from New Egg):
Exact CPU: $229
Exact M/B: $129
comparable memory: $54
Exact Power supply: $139
Comparable hard drive:$ 90
Comparable DVD: $20
gtx 6660Ti: $300
Comparable water cooler: $80
Windows 7 Home premium OEM version: $100
Exact Case: $80
Add it all up and you come up with: $1221
The comp from Digital Storm: $1397
Only $175 difference..... I was surprised
Probably have to add shipping to that as well.
I'm not endorsing Digital Storm. I know nothing about them or their computers. I was just curious......
