I'm sorry a lot of that confused me :/
When you said "There's no configuration from Cyberpower that can come close to that price; even with the cheapest parts, the total would be $1301. But the difference is, you could add liquid cooling and a higher quality power supply, plus upgrade the processor if you wanted. And the default motherboard has more expansion slots, and more ports, than the one in the SkyTech. You might never use them, of course; the question is whether you'd like the option." Was that you saying that CyberPower had better prices or that SkyTech did? Like would I be adding the things mentioned to CP computer or ST computer?
Just to add on, my dad seemed quite excited with the price of the 700 dollar pc (just to give a ballpark on where HE is with prices but it seemed like he had some space to bargain with). And with the CyberPower computers, would there still be room to change things, ie add liquid cooling?
Cause customization does sound cool but at the same time very difficult and confusing especially over a forum like this. With CyberPower, I'm mainly just enjoying it so much cause it's all put together and though the keyboard and mouse aren't necessary by any means (as I already have my own) they're just a cool and fun touch (and I'm sure that's part as to why CP includes them. But MAINLY, I'm attracted to the computers being made and their high ratings. Then it would done and dealt with (unless I decide to make changes in the future/if I am able to make changes with CyberPower computers). It's not that I'm not willing to customize it but it's just hard to work with you since you know so much and for you to work with me since I know so little.
Like, as an example, what would be 'wrong', for lack of better words, with this one? https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Syber-M-Core-100
~I'm so sorry for choosing the cheaper ones but I'd rather have my dad just kinda go with it instead of try to save money~
Thank you for all your help!
