Well that processor is worth 1400 bucks by itself. It also has a lot of good specs. It had an 80GB SSD. A 1.5TB 7200RPM Hard Drive. Blu ray burner. Top of the line graphics card. Those are some top of the line components. Not to mention that everything is installed, ready to go and overclocked right from the factory.Pirson
do you think its worth to buy that? and can you just costomly build a pc urself that can be just as good?
I doubt it will be just as good. They OC'ed it very nicely. You have to be good to do that. It's not worth to buy it. It's better to buy a nice good computer for $1300 and let it be crazy for 3 yrs and keep doing so till you get to 7000 or so. It would be better

No I don't think it's worth that at all. I would never buy it because I could do it all myself. But for a person that can't build a computer themself and wants to have a top of the line overclocked system then it would probably be suitable for them.Not at all.. I dont believe in intel extreme editions.. total rip. Probably buy a decent car with that money, if I had any of that *cries.
I don't care how good the specs are, it's never a good idea to spend $7,000 on a computer unless you're filthy rich. PC components get outdated too quickly for such a large investment. There's no need to spend more than $2,500- $3,000 on a home computer. And I mean EVERYTHING included. Monitor, speakers, keyboard, etc..
Blu ray drives are 80$, and 1.5tb hds can go for as little as 100$ SSD, 80 gigs? Wut? Put in a 256gig in there... I didn't click link but I'm reading specs off posts.JigglyWiggly_lmfao show me a blu-ray burner for under 100 cause the cheapest ive seen was 170

Bollocks. Anyone with half a brain should be able to push the "entry level" i7 920 to or beyond 3.8GHz with a half decent cooler. Considering that they're using an EE processor, I expect MUCH more for the 3K price premium.
Also, Tom's pushed an i7 920 to 4.2 GHz, and even then they had to stop because of the temps. If they had a better cooling loop, I'm confident that they would've hit a higher overclock.
Hell, I'd finish paying off my car and still be left with $2,400 to build a kick ass computer...and Blu Ray? Who needs that? Still overpriced for what it provides, if you ask me. Or I'd just pay off my car and my remaining student loans.....tough choices.If I had that sort of money I'd put it toward something I actually needed like a house, and yes they overclocked it by 10%!

[QUOTE="Blind0bj3ct"]Read the specs, you'll see why. But I find it weird because it say it has a i7 975 on a 1156 socket.Duckman5It'sstill overpriced though. You can put all that together for less than 7 grand. except you won't have a warranty, whereas this would. For some, having a warranty, and a single 'hotline' they can call to get help, is worth more than the sum of its parts. Even though I know I could assemble a pretty powerful system for my mom or brother, I certainly can't afford the headaches of trying to find replacement parts for them (out of my own dime) or the downtime associated with these manufacturer warranty replacements. I also don't feel like dealing with the headache of being called at the wee hours of the night when I'm trying to sleep because they encounter a problem that I can't just talk them through how to fix themselves. Thus, 'passing the buck' to someone whose job is to assist people in that, becomes quite valuable.

True but I'm assuming he is buying this for himself and would task himself with the tech troubleshooting.
