Actually, I'm 30, going back to school, and when I got my private loan, I said what the hell and asked for 2k more. First the time, I've been able to really get a computer thats, for the most part, ahead of current games.

You sure you wouldn't rather just build yourself ? Even though it's a good PC and the price is decent for what your getting.

I agree with what everyone is saying. Your build is good, but i could build similar for maybe 1.2-1.5k Definately build yourself if you have the expertise. If not... what the hell :P

Ya, at first I was thinking of building my own, but to be honest, I went on newegg and priced everything and it came out like a hundred dollars less. So I figured for that much more I might as well let a pro put it together. I thought it would be way less, butI priced out all the parts like 3 times and it just wasn't that much of a savings.

If you built it yourself, you could use that saved money to get a bigger HDD.

Also that power supply is overkill if you're only running two cards.
