    help my build?

    So I know that NewEgg and building the PC on your own is 10x better. But I do not have the manpower or time to do such a thing.
    So I got a bundle CP from Cyberpower and was wondering if it was ok and what I should switch and stuff
    I would really appreciate some feedback.
    thanks guys

    It's really not all that bad. The most major upgrade would be a better GPU, but the 7770 is certainly capable, so if you're fine with your performance in games there's no real reason to change it. You could consider adding an SSD for your boot drive and select games, but it's not going to help gaming performance itself. It does, however, make a huge difference in the speed and overall responsiveness of your computing experience.

    So... you don't have at least one person (you), and about an hour?

    The system is good but the video card is... meh. It's almost the bottom of the barrel for gaming cards worth their salt. How much are you paying for this setup?

    Also, the 600w PSU is way overkill, nor does it list a brand.
