I've been told to do this before. Though these come pre-built, and they have all the requirements that fit my needs.
They build it for you basically.
If that wasn't obvious.
Though, I just want to buy a desktop that's good. Not build one.

Ok thats fine i understand 100% and ibuypower is a good company
i would recommend a i5 3570k, which means youll need a new motherboard
and i 120-128 gb ssd as the primary drive with a 1 tb data drive
and there is no need at all for 16gb RAM with gaming

8 GBs would be fine, right?

Nope. You can do much better if you build it yourself, but oh well.

Try customizing that.

Seems good to me.
