OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVER priced.

Don't buy from ibuypower or whatever, they are overpriced up the ass.

Just build it yourself, or have someone build it for you.

I'm telling you man, don't buy from there.

Learn more about computers, then build one. You would save hundreds of dollars, trust me.

Lol. Then stop being lazy and save yourself a fuckton of money. Age doesn't matter as long as you're not autistic or something. Get your dad to help you with it or look for a guide online. Good learning experience + bragging rights.

Here's an alternative:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128374
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.156699
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227369
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136073
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236050
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106287
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233029
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202

EDIT: Actually, I fail. It's inferior when it comes to the amount of memory and HDD space, but, really, even with a browser full of shit and Crysis or something running you'd be pretty hard-pressed to use the entire 3GB. Remember that more memory != more performance unless you have a ridiculously low amount (1gb or less). If you want a 1TB HDD, swap the 500GB HDD in the list above for this, at which point it will be roughly equal in price to the crappy pre-built PC.

EDIT2: Somehow forgot to factor the CPU into the final price. Oops. Revised the build to actually fall below $1370 after MIR.

EDIT3: (FFFFFFF-) Forgot the CPU again. God damnit. Fixed again.

Don't get defensive about it, we're only trying to save you from buying a computer for twice what it's worth. If you're spending that much on something, would you rather spend an hour or two assembling an awesome something or spend a ton more than what something's worth and not have to bother with it?

Putting together your own build is not nearly as hard as it might sound. 30 seconds of googling turned up this guide. Read through it and ask yourself if you're capable of following it. If so, please reconsider buying a pre-build.

Oh yas, you did told me that you is 13 and lazys.
But above is correct.
If you buy from ibuypower, it could cost 1500$.
But if you buy it urself from newegg, and build it yourself, it could cost like 900$ :S

Building a computer is not hard. I built my own computer a year ago by myself (I was 14). Spend 3 hours and save $600. That's a pretty good deal.

Seems to have an unecessary amount of memory. And i really dont take pride in my video card yet its bettter than the one above so i cant say it is really worth the cost. Although it does have 1TB HD space but i guess thats pretty common in most decent computers these days.

1TB HDDs are only about $100 these days, space isn't a big deal anymore.
