Going by Amazon reviews Sandisk SSDs are solid (literally!). No idea about the PSU.

I can't thank you for enough for the quick, informative response! I'll go ahead and pull the trigger now and do some heavy research in the next few days.You can spend anywhere from $500-$1300, depending on what features you want and the size.
Not really. Cloning hard drives isn't a big deal these days. and no, you can't hurt the computer by changing drives.
It'll be about a month to ship and you'll have 30 days to return it after that.

I seriously know nothing about PCs, I have a gaming laptop right now. I'm getting mixed signals right now... I was thinking about a 2k budget for Oculus Rift and a PC. What is the ballpark going price for a monitor that can fully take advantage of these specs? And when I buy an SSD, will I run a risk of fucking shit up (both software and the physical PC itself) if I have absolutely no prior experience in building PCs? I'm so close to pulling the trigger but I'm so fuckin clueless, haha
EDIT: a better question may be how long would I have to research my purchase and still be able to cancel? Haha
Lol. If you do this too many times, won't your wife eventually learn that getting flowers from you is a sign that she's about to get news that she won't like?So I shipped flowers to my wife at work today to help blow the new purchase over; here's to hoping the strategy works, LOL.

It's in my cart and it is a beast.
I like PC gaming, but I'm so into my Xbox One and PS4, I'm not sure I can justify it. I have a nice (non-gaming) laptop so this would be dedicated to gaming.
Must resist?

I have one final question for the PC crowd. The sound card is something no one has really mentioned here. If I get this tower it will most likely live in my home theater. It has a 5.2.1 Atmos setup. Do I need any sort of special audio card that's going to allow me to run games in different surround modes?
The 980ti is probably nvidia branded because they have oem deals with Dell and HP. Here's what the inside of one of these looks like for anyone curious
Not sure if this is exactly what this new deal will look like but it gives you an idea of what to expect.
Both are solid and dependable choices for non-enthusiasts.What does this mean? Is this brand dependable?/good?
Are you planning to connect the PC to your TV? If so, just run HDMI through your receiver like you would a console.
If you just want to take advantage of the home theater audio but plan on using a monitor, running optical to the home theater makes sense.
So after some research I found out the Coupon is for 30% off any customizable desktop $1199 or more
Anybody know how long this will run for I dont get paid until the 25th and I only have a grand in my account lol . They wont let me use multiple types of payment smh
Cheapest I could configure it was for $1460 which is well into DIY territory. I guess the promo pricing is over?
Why doesn't it work with the Envy Phoenix?
Use a credit card? The configuration with the 980ti looks like it won't ship until mid-March. I assume they will not charge your CC before then, just send an authorization to it.
How's the bloatware from HP? My old one had so much pre-installed crap that I swore to never buy another one again.Bought one a few months ago when they were doing the same deal but with a 980. It's been perfect so far and it saved me all the headache I had last time I tried building my own PC.

I think the 970 setup isnt that impressive (discount wise), its 200 less when the price difference between the 970 and 980ti is more than that.If you're worried, you can get a 970 with it for even less, then upgrade the GPU at a later date.
The savings are great but its still expensive.This is a ridiculous deal. And people say PC gaming is expensive!

980ti is among the best video cards. So it will handle high/ultra on almost any game at 1080p.
Just keep in mind that some games like The Witcher 3 and GTA V cannot be maxed out yet no matter what rig you have. Turning down some "performance killer" settings and you'll be okay.

You dont even need a 980Ti, a 970 would do that just fine.I've played TW3 "maxed out" in 2560x1600 on a 980TiG1. You are right though, "maxed out" is a pointless term. This rig will run all multiplatform games better than XBO or PS4 -- this is pretty much guaranteed.

It was in reference to running all multi-plats better than the consoles.No, 970 for 2560x1600 wasn't enough. I had one and TW3 was one of the reasons I've upgraded to 980Ti.
