Do you know someone that has it? --- End quote --- It seems reasonable, just based on it's specifications. I usually am a supporter of building your own computer. But this seems decent for the price (You won't be able to upgrade it without replacing the power supply, though). |

The other reason people (gamers) build their own PC is because generally, most computers from stores like HP, dell etc have very low powered power supplies (300w PSUs). The GTX 660ti requires a 450w PSU that also gives out 24amps on a 12v rail. In conclusion, if you get one of those PCs you will need to swap the power supply out which can be very annoying as some companies use different board form factors. Id suggest now you just build a computer as you will have to remove the power supply and then install a new one, you also may not be 100% it will fit in the case correctly. |

MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130637 GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202025 PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139012 CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727 HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533 OS: Windows 7 or Windows 8 This can be done right here if you have an old PC case (An old computer you don't use anymore that you can take the stuff out of and just use it's case), and peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor, ect). If you don't have these, tell me what you can and cannot use and I'll adjust the build to include those and stay under the $700 budget. |
