I was looking for a good combo bundle on Newegg.com, and was wondering if this build http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1352848 is this a good buy for my first gaming pc?
First gaming PC
- Thread starter Interiano
- Start date
This one is slightly better.

However, I believe you can get a much balanced machine for $750.
If you go for AMD FX, and spend more money on video card, that would be faster in gaming.
Edit: If you want to stick with intel, here is what I come up with
Intel i5 4670K
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H
Team Xtreem LV 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2400 TXD38G2400HC10QDC01
PowerColor AX7850 2GBD5-DH
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003
LG Internal Super Multi Drive SATA Model GH24NSB0
Seasonic S12II 620W
Corsair 200R

Yeah, you could get a better system by configuring itself. Those combo deals are often not very balanced. At this budget I would probably go with a non-overclockable i5, H87, 8GB quality RAM, 1TB Seagate/WD, CX500M/600M and NZXT Source 210 - and then get the best GPU available. No point in getting an overclockable CPU without a good cooler on Haswell, as they burn up when overclocked. I would also spend ~$20 on a good silent cooler, since the stock one is both loud and just good enough on stock settings.
Intel i5-4570
MSI H87-G43/G45
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB/G.Skill 2.4GB (G.Skill is often much cheaper with higher MHz, which Haswell can run)
Seagate/WD 1TB
Corsair CX600M
NZXT Source 210
and then I would imagine you could afford a 7950/760 GPU
I can find prices and such later, but I think this should be within the budget.
How about an OS? That often costs ~$85

You don't specify which DVD drive it is, but they're all so similar it doesn't matter really.
I would probably look for a different case, but otherwise it looks like a very solid build.
NZXT Source 210: $45
Corsair Carbide 300R: $60

This is what I would get for $750. Very balenced, unlike a 6300 and 770.
