So I was wondering which PC building company is the best (IK its horrible to buy a pre built pc but i am soooo rip)
The main 3 im considering are ;

1. Cyberpower PC
2. Digital Storm
3. Alienware

If you're wondering what im gonna purchase its going to be a GTX 1070, 16 or 32 GB of Ram, and Intel i7 6700k and some other minor stuff.

The only one I've heard of is Alienware so I don't have much say in this topic.

If you already know what you're gonna buy why don't you just pick the cheapest one out of them 3?

Most of the time companies that pre-build computer tend to be more expensive; on the account of actually building the computer for you. Though Alienware usually tends to overprice their hardware. Also I have a couple of friend would have had nothing but success with cyberpower. Can't say i know much about Digital Storm.

Ok, that's who I was thinking about purchasing from because i've heard a lot of bad things about Cyberpower PC, but i've also heard some bad things about Digital Storm so I was on the fence about it.

I have heard bad things about both but the thing is you will hear bad things about every company. You have to focus on the good things (life pro tip) and Digital Storm, in my opinion, is better overall between the two. Don't even consider Alienware.

ive heard good things about alien ware and cyber power. But i would definitely try and do a custom build. More often than not you can get a better PC than the pre builds in your price range

I think digital storm does great with their build quality and wiring. That is a good computer all around for most people, better than mine and I spent 2k only a year ago. If you have the money to spare you could buy their warranty (even though each part will have a manufacturer warranty Digital Storms warranty is still pretty good).

If you don't want to custom build then the price is pretty good for what you're getting. Custom build will always save a little more money, but time is money too. If you dont got the time, then yes that pc is worth the cost imo. You could also save some $21 by removing the cd drive if you don't need one.

Also, dont forget you can change the case of that model to black for free. Depends on personal preference.

Personally. Worth the cost. I understand custom build will save you some money, but sometimes it is worth doing it for a little extra the right way (especially if you're new to this) and upgrade as you go. Nothing wrong with that if you have the money. You'd save only $100-$300 and lose time.

That's my opinion. Let some other people respond and see if they agree or not. Make your own informed decision.
