Buying prebuilt, would like input

Those are NOT gaming PCs!!! If you are not gamer, then fine, buy this overpriced office junk, but if you are gamer, stay the hell out of this crappy list.

Also it's for amazon, guess that would be useful

Didn't see it until after I posted lol

I have built computers in the past, it has been a few years though, if I do find myself needing reference you have any suggestions for youtube vids or other resources?

Just give this handy little sticky thread a good read and check out the video.

Thanks ,tielknight, what settings would you say I could run that build at on WoW?

[tielknight]

Maxed out you should be able to keep it above 60 most of the time @ 1080p.

[Xaedus]

is that OC or no?

[tielknight]

OCing will help keep it from dipping below 60 as often but it would still run it at/above 60 most of the time. Just expect more dips below 60 during heavy combat and congested areas.

Sounds good, I am not familiar with OCing, but I suppose I will learn.

Basically trial & error until you get a stable overclock

Linus has a basic guide that you can watch here.

I hope not, I have it requested to group and luckily all but one piece were handled by Amazon and I requested expedited shipping for that one, the others should be about 5-8 business days!

I think Tiel there wanted to link a 4690k not 4670k.

I checked newegg for similar price but comes out more expensive. It does have a decent price for Dell P2414H tho.

For a prebuilt, This prebuilt is really strong, and you should likely simply change that PSU.

1,2 are not good unless you want to buy a pc that you'll have to replace in 1 year.

3... allienware... if you don't have the budget for it don't get an allienware... It is just overpriced... they put an allien logo infront of it and charge you 200-300$ more for it (like apple does).

970GTX I would get, next gen GPU that you are going to have for 2-4 years depending how often you change your pc.
