New Computer

[Gelston]

Well, my current is 5 years old, so instead of upgrading it more, I'mma just get a new one. Right now I'm set on this one..

I'll also be buying a 2TB HD with it.

Anyone see any other issues with it? Anyone know of one that is better in the same price range?

Its main purpose will be games and fucking around on the internet.

You'd save a few hundred dollars buying everything separately and putting it together yourself. Apart from that it's fine.

I'd save time by not doing that.

An hour? Computers are like lego sets.

Honestly, you don't really save nearly as much money as you used to. I priced out just the CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD, Windows Key, and the DVD drive and it is already pushing 1400. That isn't even including the case, motherboard, power supply, and all the other BS you'd need. It might actually cost more to build this on your own.

What are you going to go with for cooling? Even if you're not looking to do anything fancy, adding a 15-30 dollar aftermarket fan will help with CPU overclocks. The 7700k runs fairly hot IMO.

I don't know what reference you're using, but all that stuff is right around $1450.

Amazon.com, I just copy pasted the items and took the cheapest shown results. So basically, what you're saying, is based off your pricing, it is only $50 less to build my own. Yeah, fuck that mess.

$1600 vs. $1450 is $50 less?
