Yeah, build your own. Post a thread on the "New System Build" on Tom's Hardware using the template and they will spec you a great system. Or here, I and others would be glad to help. You will get much more for your money. You have 30 days to return parts to newegg, and if a component is going to break, it will probably break within that time. Plus the manufacturer's warranty for longer.
