    It will get moved quickly but still.

    No, its crap.

    General cost being pushed up by Blue Ray drive, no name PSU, media-light gaming/intro card, horrible into gaming AMD CPU.

    A gamer NEEDS a solid state drive to put the games on. Modern games shouldn't touch a HDD. You shouldn't be waiting for platters to spin around while your opponent is killing you.

    no low budget build should ever have an ssd in it.

    Going to go with what most other posters have said:

    no, not a terribly great buy for a gaming-centric PC for 700.

    You could do better with an intel-based machine pretty easily at that price point.

    I don't think I've ever played a modern game where I was waiting for a HDD to load while actively playing the game.
