Greetings everyone. I am looking to buy a new computer which will be dedicated mostly to P3D and DCS. The good news is that the hard part is over...I know exactly which components I want. I lack the time however to learn how to put the computer together myself since I am going back to school here shortly. My understanding is that companies like CyberpowerPC, OriginPC, and Ibuypower will allow you to select the hardware/software you want and they will assemble it and ship it to you. My question is does anybody have experience using any of these companies? Which would you recommend if any, and are there better alternatives to the ones I have mentioned? Thanks and happy flying!

I bought my computer from here 3 years ago and would do it again. The computer is everything I could have hoped for and the staff is great.

Ryan,

I have experience with iBuyPower, I probably won't ever use them again they really price gouge for what you get. Since buying my iBuyPower the only thing that remains is the case and motherboard, I have upgraded everything else. I wish I had been a bit more attentive during the buying process and just built from scratch instead.

Ryan;
Your best shot is to build your own PC. I always build mine and I know that I`m "using the right components". To see the compatibility, I use this page: https://pcpartpicker.com/ and I start to shop for the best deal available. There are combo discounts available.
It`s not hard to build it. Many videos available and I`m not a PC geek. This is my current build for P3D V4, XPlane 11, BFV: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jsJC8M . For me works like a charm.
Good Luck.

I have used Xidax in the past when I have been too busy to build my own system. They did a nice job and there wasn't a terrible amount of mark up in price...they did it about $300 more expensive than I could have done it myself.

My new i9 computer came from Xforcepc.com, which is affiliated with XPlane. No issues, competitive prices, great quality build.

Thanks Jay, I'll check them out. I am playing the waiting game for a bit with a few sites to see if their prices come down after the holidays. I want the I9 as well! Should be awesome for P3DV4 and DCS world.

Well;
If you need, I can help to build it. If you send me the parts, I`ll put it together and ship it over to you. I really enjoy building PC`s. drool

That is mighty generous of you Thiago, I appreciate that. I saw your rig...most impressive! Someday I'd like to have a similar setup. I'm still weighing my options.
