Also since you can't buy the graphics card in the Dell XPS we added the next closest thing. a even more powerful radeon 7750 graphics card.

The CyberPowerPC Zeus Thunder is a wolf in sheep's cloth. This thing will own battlefield 3 and any other game you want it to but is it worth the 2000$ price tag? You must login or register to view this content.

also instead of the cheap crappy gaming keyboard and mouse you get with the prebuilt i add a mouse and keyboard that real pc gamers would use
[multipage=Notes]
These are just examples i'm not saying all prebuilt PCs are bad and if your just a internet user a laptop works great but i like a big screen as many people so i use desktops and please laptops arn't good for gaming media work unless u have to use it they overheat and arn't as powerful and all the pcs don't include a OS most people pirate but if not add 100$ to get a copy of win7 or win8. I wanna thank Millz59 for the help with this thread

dell xps 8500 uses a seagate hdd for one the motherboard is a h77 if i remember which is custom made from dell with 2 sata 3 ports , 2 msata 1 pci expressx16 ,and 4 x1 im pretty sure also uses a micro atx case no mid tower . the hdd is a 32mb cache as well. oh and im stating this from a higher end one that i purchased for what comes in it i wouldnt go as far as its worth it but worth it more then most other pre built computers you will find. psu is 460watt ,ram is 1600mhz amount varies , ram would be cheaper to buy at local store then from dell

Companies do not acquire the parts at the same price consumers do. Realistically a PC that they sell for $700 would only cost them $300. The parts that you buy from Newegg are acquired by Dell and whatnot for a fraction of that price. This is because
1) Buy them in bulk
2) They probably have contracts and whatnot similar to what Microsoft has going with Activision that they will use Intel only CPU's and AMD only GPU's or whatever.
3) The profit is distributed evenly. Everyone wins.
They make large amounts of profit, it's just just one or two hundred dollars more. Building a PC yourself is obviously the way to go. It's not the case of them making profit, it's that they make huge ones.
