    forgive me in advance if this is the wrong place to post this.
    So heres the deal. Im looking to buy a new pc and i would like to get it build to order but i dont have cash. Typical what i'll be doin with the pc a little bit of everything. Video editing, might do a little 3d rendering, photoshopping, might place a pc game here and there. Some might say why dont you just buy a mac, lol well dear sir or madam, im not rich i do have a macbook and its 3 years old. i use it like a desktop, im always on it and its faster than the pc i have now. so i'm trying to decide between these those links.

    The cyberpower system seems to be a more up to date build...but it should be for the extra money. If you are looking to build a hackintosh, the cheaper system would be a lot closer to the specs of a genuine MAC.

    Honestly, I don't think they make good systems...but I don't think lenovo makes a good system either. At least with the cyberpower system, you have a chance of getting a few quality parts; you won't get this from lenovo. $800 would easily get you into a quality home-built box using quality parts...the specs would be a bit lower, but the reliability would be higher, it would be more upgradable, and the better quality components might actualy get you more performance thanks to overclocking.
