    Not sure the PSU is good, quick google showed some issues of them braking down, i I would take a bigger SSD something like 240 gb, 128 is pretty small if you install a couple games on it. Rest seems decent enough from what I can see without an actual link to the manufaturers site

    That's honestly not a terrible price. You'd still save some money by just buying the parts, and taking it to best buy or something and having them put it together and test it. Also, agree on the PSU.. OCZ is going out of business.

    What kind of PSU would you recommend? And is 700W good enough?

  5. #5
    500w+ should do I think, there is nothing massively power hungry in there

    Honestly they are using some shitty parts if they can build that computer for $1589....... unless that's not the actual cost.

    It's a decent build. The H60i is overrated(I would know I have one, the 212 evo gives the same performance for less). The SSD they are using isn't very good, I would supplement something more reliable. Mass production builders are notorius for using 2nd rate PSU's I would upgrade to a name brand of something(EVGA/Corsair(HX/TX)/Seasonic). I would probably rather still have a 4770k than build a 4820k(price doesn't justify the small upgrade), just a little bit more support out there for things like overclocking, especially if you are uncomfortable with it. Also if I'm spending $100+ on a case I'm getting a Corsair Carbide series with removable dust filters(makes cleaning the PC 10x better, and they all have amazing airflow design).

    EDIT: I would also ONLY ever buy EVGA brand NVidia cards. They have the best warranty/return policies and they also have the best quality control.
