_PRICE:(+1763)


I opted out the monitor due to adding an additional $75, from the $75 already set, making it $150...no thank you.

So please overview my specs and let me know what's wrong/good about this PC I'm about to build. What I could do differently, if necessary.

My main objective is to upgrade a computer I had for 4 years, which cost $400 back then. So...yeah. I play a lot of games, but not recently due to a slow computer. Hopefully even Facebook games are run a little more slowly? If anyone plays Facebook with a supercharged PC and can tell a difference, or not, please let me know. Thank you in advance for anyone & everyones help

Not a bad spec but also quite expensive

If you tell us what the computers main use will be and in which country you will be purchasing we can look at some other options for you that will provide what you need but also hopefully save you some cash.

NB: You do not need and will not use any more than 8GB of Ram or any more than a quad core CPU for gaming, those sort of specs are required for games programmers, professional 3D modeling and video rendering etc.

I would also never buy a computer that did not provide the brand name of the PSU as you don`t know what you are getting.
