Any recommendations for a midrange price PC?

Thanks for all the input guys I'm just gunna order the one off Newegg, it's pretty solid for me from what it seems. 635$ total is pretty much right at my budget, so I'm pretty happy.

God no, don't order a CyberpowerPC from Newegg... Order it from CyberpowerPC: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/. Like this way, you can choose which hardware goes into your computer and you'll have easier access to the warranty and support.

It's probably a specific configuration to sell on Newegg/Etc.

You can get pretty much the same thing by going to AMD systems -> Mega Specials -> Back to School 2010 and dropping in a 512MB 5670 (or ponying up a little more dough for a better card, etc). They don't have the exact case, might be a different mobo, etc.

If you swap to a Phenom II, you can pick a free game or MP3 player as well.

Is this PC better/worse than the one from newegg, or the same?

You probably won't unless you specifically build it using the same individual parts in their customization system. Newegg contracts them to make pre-built machines using some of their in-house brands and older or slower-selling stock items (i.e. the Phenom II 630 or Radeon 5670) in order to keep their warehouse stock moving.

By going directly to the source builder (Cyberpower) you're able to get your machine pre-built using parts that you wouldn't be able to get from Dell without paying out the ass.

Be sure to tick the ati 5770 or nvidia 260 for the video card (nvidia needs to put out a newer mid range-budget card bad) and tick the freebies (toolkit and game). Little over your budget, but you won't be having to mess with your comp for a long while.

Though compared to the one you linked on newegg, this is actually just a tad more expensive at base with a crappy vid card (avoid ati's 5450 like the plague if gaming at all), and a dual core vs quad on newegg.

Honestly, that newegg deal is a good deal, just wish they put in the 5770 instead of the 5670. That's really the only drawback there. Surf around more to see if you can at least get a stronger vid card without pushing the price much higher.
