The Chimera 4S Gaming Chassis is one of the most popular on the iBUYPOWER live configurator.
Last week, Newegg teamed up with iBUYPOWER to launch a live configurator on our website. And with 94% of reviewers giving it a five-egg rating, calling it a success would be a huge understatement. Customers from all over the world have chimed in and are applauding the live configurator for being a hassle-free solution that allows them to build a high-performance PC at a small-budget price.
Comments like “this machine is boss,” “worked fine out of the box” and “clean and solid machine” are just some of the many positive responses we’ve received. Whether you’re an experienced PC builder or a total newbie, the live configurator makes it easy to design a custom gaming rig with little effort. Simply put, this is one of the best things to happen to enthusiast PC gaming on Newegg.com.
“We decided that the best way to address the needs of the customer was to combine the strengths of both companies.”
– Darren Su, Vice President of iBUYPOWER
iBUYPOWER is a leading source for gamers that demand performance and like to win. Their systems are not only trusted worldwide by gamers, but also by developers, LAN centers and regular computer users who just want a solid system. By joining forces with Newegg — which has one of the widest selections of gaming components — the live configurator is able to bring you the best of both worlds.
Building a custom gaming PC can be a daunting task — even for experienced builders. Because the current PC market has an abundance of quality parts, figuring out which one works best with your computer build can sometimes be confusing. The live configurator takes out all the guesswork and only offers components that work seamlessly with your iBUYPOWER setup. The days of wondering which parts work best with your computer are over.
Intel is also pleased to be the exclusive chipset being offered on the live configurator because “consumers that want a custom solution will get great value by having iBUYPOWER build exactly what [Intel PC] they want.” The Intel partnership also makes it possible for Newegg to offer customers the latest in CPU technology, like the new 4970K processor (Devil’s Canyon) which has greatly improved overclocking capabilities from previous Haswell chips.
The live configurator allows customers to select their chassis, CPU, motherboard, memory, hard drive, video card, power supply, CD/DVD burner and operating system. At the default level, the computer costs $522.93 and can be customized all the way up to $2,308.93. With literally hundreds of thousands of combinations currently available, the iBUYPOWER live configurator has a solution for every type of user.
The live configurator is a great starting point for those who are new to the building game. When you combine the tool with Newegg TV’s helpful video tutorials (watch the “How to Build a PC” series below), you’ll be up and running in no time! Simply select the parts you want, wait for them to arrive, and put them all together like Paul tells you to.
