best gaming pc value image
Marcoz
I am planning on building my own gaming pc to handle games like Skyrim and Far Cry 3 on ultra or high settings. So far these are the parts I am choosing to buy.
-AMD FX-8320 Vishera CPU
-ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0 Motherboard
-Radeon HD 7950 Graphics Card
-Crucial Ballistix Tactical DDR3 8gb 1600 Ram
-Seagate Barracuda 1tb 7200RPM Hard Drive
-Seasonic G 550w Power Supply
-Asus BW-14D1XT Optical Drive
-Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler
Are the parts I have chosen compatible with each other? And if they are how would you rank the pc these parts would build on a scale of 1-10. 10 being amazing, and 1 being piece of crap. And if you guys have suggestions for me for different parts I could get instead of the ones I have chosen to make my pc more powerful without costing me a lot more please let me know. Thanks guys any advice is appreciated.

AMD just came out with a new video card series to replace their aging Radeon HD 7xxx series. It might be a better value to get a R9 280 when it releases on October 15th ($250) or get a R9 280X that is almost the equivalent of a GTX 770 for $300.

What brand of computer offers the best value?

I'm looking to buy a new gaming PC, and want to get the best value for my money possible. If I have ~$1500 to spend, what brand of computer would offer me the most performance for that price (Systemax, iBuyPower, etc.)? Also, what store would sell those computers for the best price (Tiger Direct, Amazon, Micro Center)?
Just FYI, I am looking for a desktop, not a laptop.
Answer
Best value for the dollar is Ibuypower or Cyberpower PC. Those are the best sites for configuring a gaming system, short of building one from scratch yourself.
Of course having it assembled, tested and Windows installed is worth the slightly higher cost. You don't have to deal with the headaches of getting a defective/DOA component and having to exchange it before you can complete your build.
They are carried by Newegg (best prices overall), Tiger Direct (2nd best) and even Walmart carries some models. But unless you're lucky enough to find a system configured exactly the way you want it, I recommend buying directly from their site.

Ordering directly has two major advantages- one, you get exactly the components you want which often isn't possible with the units sold in retail stores. For example, I always want a high-quality power supply like Corsair or Antec in my builds.
The 2nd reason to order directly addresses the one knock against CyberpowerPC and Ibuypower- their default computer cases aren't the highest quality (of course you can pick what you want when ordering direct) and some people get damaged units- reading the reviews it almost always seems to be that computers were dropped or banged around during shipping and arrived with CD drives or video cards knocked loose or broken drive bay doors etc. Probably more the fault of the shipping company than the manufacturer but still, something you have to consider.
When getting it through retail channels, boxes get shipped around more (from the manufacturer to the merchant, then from the merchant to you) with more opportunities to be mishandled at some point.
