Okay, i know alot of you will say "it's cheaper to make one yourself. But that isn't the point nor the answer im looking for :). As my current PC is built by myself, i want a change. Because im giving mine to a freind as im moving to da U.S in a few months, and rather than spend time looking and searching for hardware i just want to buy a PC an be done with it. Ahh im going on, anyways how does this computer work out?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103296

it seems pretty powerful, and it has the specs im looking for. Does it seem a safe buy hardware wise? because im wanting to Completely max out Kingdom Under Fire II when it comes out, so i want a pretty powerful Computer and since my overall budget is about 2000$ (not including Monitor) for a computer this one seems to fit the bill.

So cani have some feedback please. If this should be the computer to get?

For $2000 the video card you're getting is just a single GTX470? And an unknown PSU. Hmmm... it's a strong build but not practical in terms of getting your money's worth... Plus an ugly case to boot (it is quite unique though).

I can't say if itll max it, but it will do fine, also the case is rather unique.

Maybe something like that would be better... I have that case and its awesome(currently using it on my dads rig). The specs are also alot better... and its cheaper.

Sorry but the feedback turned me off from getting that one.

@ gabs556yes maby not pratical but if you read i don't care about it being cost effective, i just want a powerfull prebuilt computer for about 2000$ max. And i like the case XD looks awesome.

That's just fine and if the PSU dies on ya you can replace it with a corsair AX750W modular PSU. :)

Yeah even better. And it leaves enough money for a Monitor. Hmm good specs too, exactly what im looking for hardware wise tbh. Nice find, hard to believe that i overlooked it. So how much are we talking about for a monitor? 150$ for a 1680x1050 one?

Spend about 200-250 for a monitor and make sure its atleast 1080P. You will have a GTX 480 and it will perform extremely well at high resolutions, so might aswell. I have a samsung P2350 and I love it... look for something around that range.
