Am looking at computers and reading reviews. One that is listed as a top one is CyberPower. Looking at Best Buy I found this is one they had for around $1,300; which is my price range.
Cyber Power PC Gamer Supreme
AMD FX series
16 GB memory
2 TB hard memory
128 GB SS Drive
Memory DDR3 SDRAM
Ram speed 1600megahertz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
4 GB dedicated video memory
liquid cooling
Looked at a ASUS ROG seriesG20AJ for around $1,000 but there were remarks of overheating problems and something about when it was upgraded the warranty was no longer covered.
opinions on this computer?

**************************
Okay, what is the important differences? Wouldn't the NVIDIA card be better than the Radeon?
Does cache memory matter?
How important is it for the RAM to be expandable?
The expansion slots and bays confused as to why the second one has several listed but none for the first one, and yet in the description it seems as if they both have some, just different amounts -- confused in that aspect.
For $100, I don't mind buying the second one if it is better, I can afford that. Will be taking my son's monitor, which is only four years old and getting a new one later. He has five speakers, so I will be taking those also to have. He will get all new when he gets his new computer later on.
It will probably be between the 26th and 28th of Dec when I get my new computer, definitely no later than the 30th of the month.
It will be a toss up to whether or not I try to get it earlier if we get the money in before the 24th. I don't know which would be worse, the last minute shoppers or the rush of shoppers for returns/sales after Christmas. *Sigh*
Sorry to have so many questions, but this will have to last for around seven years, so want a good one.
