I am currently using two Cyberpower computers, a desktop and laptop. I am running Reaper on both with fantastic results. You do need to know a few things about the parts because they build gaming computers and will be of no help when it comes to DAW. My parts suggestions include: Asus mother board, W/TI chipset Intel i7 chip Nvidia Graphics card Thermaltake power supply Highest quality RAM (not budget) Additionally, use as few ad on cards as possible and use a 120GB SSD as the "C" root drive for the operating system and all programs, and then use 1TB drive(s) as data drives, (Raid multiple if needed). Your computer will be killer!!!
