Prebuilt limited eidtion

[Sangomah]

Hey guys.

Been browsing around the computer forum the last week to hunt for opinions on different things, but then this prebuilt thing popped up and I was wondering if anyone could let me in if the components are worth the cost or not.

If anyone has opinions please share them.

The parts of the prebuilt are:

• Fractal Design Define R3 Black Pearl
• Corsair TX V2 650W PSU
• MSI P67A-GD65 B3, Socket-1155
• Intel® Core™ i5-2500K Processor
• Kingston ValueR. DDR3 1333MHz 4GB, CL9
• ASUS GeForce GTX 560Ti 1GB PhysX CUDA
• Seagate Barracuda® 7200.12 1TB
• Corsair SSD Force Series™ F115, 115GB
• Sony Optiarc DVD±RW Burner, AD-7260S

THis comes with a 3 year warranty, windows i7 64bit

The price with sending is roughly:

1.157 Euro
1.646 usd
1.017 gbp

Do keep in mind I live in Norway so the prices here are higher than most countries in the world

That system is $953 dollars if you bought the parts yourself, not including rebates from Newegg. So if a $700 mark up for being in Norway is about right then it is a good deal. If the additional $700 for being in Norway is not normal then no I will try to look them up on another site.

EDIT: I apologize I did not add in the cost of the ssd, ill update it in a sec

Good PC nonetheless, But as mentioned above, if you were to buy the parts yourself and assemble it / have someone assemble it for you. You will save 100s

[Sangomah]

That is my problem.

I can get the parts and assemble myself and I will safe roughly what you say, but then I gotta get a hold of the windows 1.7 which will basically put another 150 on top, going over the price of the prebuilt one.

If I buy the parts from the uk I get slapped with 4-5000 nok taxation, and even more if I were to order it from the US. Wish I was still living in Ireland right now lol.

[naadra]

Ok, I built the system on another site that has everything in Norway prices. Actual cost for you if you bought the items yourself would be 8612. Which is about $1575 US, so that system above is a good deal, basically 75 dollars for them to put everything together for you which is not that bad. Hopefully I did the conversion ok lol

You picked SO-DIMM's. That's notebook RAM.

Thanks Naadra!

We got to suffer for our high pay checks and oil riches QQ.

Ah well. Thanks for everyone replying, and now you see how much more expensive it is here compared to you guys

Nothing limited about it since the parts are totally off the shelf stuff, but it's well balanced and with pretty low mark-up. I'd say it's good purchase pre-built and with 3 year warranty.

[Sangomah]

Dont care what its called in all fairness

It was just what it was called on site, but yes I agree with you

[naadra]

Hey I was translating and it is 5am lol, either way the price is very close piece for piece so its a good deal.

[Sangomah]

While I got you here. How much OC can I achieve on the i5 and should I get some more fans?

I managed to overclock a q6600 from 2.4 to 3.6 a few years ago on air, but that case had really good air flow

[naadra]

The I5 can be overclocked a good bit. Some people have got them to 5.0 and a little over. I would say the average chip though will go to 4.5, but as always it depends on the chip itself.

Edit: Some people have done the 4.5 on the stock cooler too, but I would recommend a aftermarket one.
