It's a good PC, just overpriced. If you can you should build it youself. With ~$1000 you can get an core i7 chip with a better graphics card.

Thanks diduknowthat, I've been rushing to replace my last setup over the last few days.

Time is unfortunately just not on my side right now, or I would have loved to have personally built this replacement unit myself... and save quite a bit of money in the process! maybe next time around'

I tried to research benchmark comparisions of i7k to the i5k, and found the gains are minimal in consideration to my needs.
Results from anandtech.com
Perhaps I can have it OC'd at a later date...?


Hopefully this isn't Too overly priced considering everything.

Appreciate the fast reply!

^ and a better power supply.

As is: 600w

Extra $10 would get a 700w unit.. now that I look at it, kind of a no brainer!


600w was just recommended, so I didn't even look into it further.. not sure the difference it would make honestly, IT is not my field.
I'll upgrade to the 700w though

Thanks Benny Boy!

Everything has been covered by the above posts.
I would recommend spending $50 more and getting this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013

Or spending $$ more and getting any Corsair PSU which was on that list.
I wouldn't trust a build like that on a crappy PSU>

 

[Okedokey]

Yeah, they are total shite PSUs.

^ and a "better" power supply.

"Different" would have been the operative word.
More watts doesn't mean better.
