The Proof About Computer Parts Online

Throughout my website I talk about purchasing computer parts online. It will save you a lot of money over the course of 2 or 3 computers. I wanted to take a moment here to prove that to you, and to show you how much money you can actually save.

The first build comes from Cyber Power. Cyber Power is a respected computer builder that does quality work, and uses quality parts. Their build for Cyber Power's computer is priced below. In the table is the same exact build, using the same exact products priced out seperately from Newegg. Keep in mind that all I did was look the parts up on Newegg, I didn't even shop around for cheaper prices. I could probably shave off at least another $50.00 on the total price.

My goal here was to simply show you how easy it is to save money using computer parts online, and to be honest, I didn't even have to resort to using cheap computer parts. Most of the listed parts are quality name brand components. So without any further hesitation or explanation, here are the builds.

Note that I do not have a price breakdown for the Cyber Power computer, as it is not provided on their website.

Cyber Power Total Price: $799.00
Shipping: $65.00
Total System Price: $864.00

Here is the link to the build on their site.

Here is my build:

Looks like about $100.00 savings, and remember, that's without even trying to find good deals. That is also the Newegg prices without any rebates or instant rebates included. At the time I priced this out, I could have saved $37.00 more on rebates, which would have my price at $725.14.

That's a total savings of $138.86.

Note that neither build includes a monitor, or an operating system such as Windows.

This is just one example of how you can save a lot of money by building your own computer. As you get into higher end systems, you can save even more.
