    Just wondering has anyone on here built a custom PC from Cyberpowersystem.co.uk website? I didnt get my PC built yet as Im doing research on some of the parts I want to put into it. Is this a good site to build and buy one? I find that German website that has been recommend on here hard to follow for some reason.

    Use Google Chrome, and then it will translate that website to english every time you use it.
    I found it confusing at first too but its easy to navigate over time ;)
    I also looked at CyberPower before I came to this forum, looked at reviews and apparently their customer service is horrific and their prices aren't too hot either.

    If you fill out the template here someone will be able to help you pick out parts, and if you buy through the German website, for 30 euro more they will build it for you.

    Would it be mad spending over €2000 on a custom built pc? Is it worth it? I'm not a high end gamer but love having a good hi spec pc for gaming.

    My first PC was €3,600 all-told, so no, it's most-certainly not. :)

    1200 to 1400 euro would build a good hi spec PC. 2000 euro would be OTT.

    If the €2000+ budget includes a few good monitors for an eyefinity setup or something then its definately not mad, if it doesn't then maybe a little bit :pac:.

    It is a lot of money so I'd recommend a rig that works great but also won't depreciate that quickly; with stuff that is futureproofed. I reckon €1500 could get the job done, including a few monitors. Especially if ur not a tech head!

    The money would be spent on the pc and nothing else.

    If it is just the box I would definately keep the budget in the region of €1200 - €1400 instead of €2000+, you will still get an absolutely outstanding gaming PC right now, with ample cash left over to keep it a top notch gaming PC in a couple of years with a few well timed upgrades.

    Ok, I'd always like to upgrade at some point, so I suppose I wouldn't do too bad getting one built for 1500.
