Its ok,The CPU is a good one but not the k version so if you want to overclocking it may be 'tricky' also the GFX card is mid range but it'll run games in medium stettings so you may want to ditch that If you want it for gaming I think its a little overpriced.

Also the PSU's in these prebuilds are as much use as a chocolate fireguard!

It doesnt relly look a really good deal but whatever

This would have been my suggestion

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072 -> i5 2500Khttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130622 -> MSI Z68A-GD55http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233180 -> Corsair Vengeance 8gbhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125401 -> Gigabyte GTX 560Ti 1Gbhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185&Tpk=samsung%20spinpoint%20f3 -> Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TBhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020&Tpk=corsair%20tx%20650 -> Corsair TX650

Now this is a total of roughly 880$ + OS + case it will be proly little over your current setups cost now you could get a little cheaper mobo and add a little more juice to the PSU and the hard drive prices are insane so if you have any left from the previous biuld use that till prices lower, and you get yourself a rig that can beat that prebiult any day of the week.

Too much CPU, not enoough GPU.

Poor case, probably poor psu, generally bad quality etc.

That is the pc that I bought and posted about it, and it is the best/fastest/most powerful pc that I have ever used. I bought it for $799.99 and it is worth it for that price, but for $949.99 that it is going for now you would be able to build a pc cheaper even with similar parts. If you can get it for the same price that I had paid or less than yes get it I think that you would be happy, because I know I am.

It's alright I guess; the GPU is a bit underpowered though - an i5 and a 6870 would have been a much better choice (any idea why prebuilts are always CPU-heavy?)

Total: $800 including shipping, taxes seperate, about $850 taxes included depending on where you live

you get:

core i5 2500k

foxconn z68 motherboard

8gb of ddr3 patriot ram

antec new 620watt power supply

500gb HDD

Radeon 6850

cooler master 912 case

lg dvd burner plus 5x dvd dual layer disc bonus gift

windows 7

For me I would be able to shave lets see.....$180 since you could get the graphics card cheaper, windows dont need and the core i5 id buy it off a local ad.
