You could build yourself a much better PC than this one.

First the GPUs, SLI 660 ( non ti ) is OK but you are already at the end of the upgrade path with this setup, cant upgrade without selling both 660's and getting better cards.

Then the CPU, if you are a gamer a 3570k is a much better pick with a good Z77 board.

The RAM : 16gb is a bit too much, even more with the current Ram pricing ... 8gb is a better bang/buck ( gaming wise )

PSU : No mane 800w 80+ unit ? Much better to pick yourself a well know good PSU.

Overall, build yourself your own PC. Save alot of money and have something much more suited for your needs. At ~1500$ you could beat this thing ... EZ !

 

[sin4life]

can u offer a better spec from the site for me to look at.

 

[Boulard83]

3570k ~225$
Asrock Xtrem4 ~140$
2x4gb 1600mhz ram ~60$
GTX660ti 2gb ~250 to 300$ or AMD 7870/7950
Corsair GS600 ~100$
Case of your choice ~100$
DVD drive ~20$
At least 128gb SSD for OS ~125$
** or 256gb SSD for more space ~200$ **
1TB/2TB/3TB HDD for storage ~90 to 150$
Windows 7 pro x64 ~140$ ( you seems to want a windows ? )

Thats about it. 1300 to 1500$

Add some goodies if you want. Wait for incomming haswell Z87 proc/chipset if you can. And/or also wait for incoming GTX7xx series.

So the

is better then the

(4-Way SLI/CrossFireX Support) GIGABYTE X79-UP4 Intel X79 Chipset Quad Channel DDR3 ATX Mainboard w/ Ultra Durable 5, 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, 4 Gen3 PCIe x16, 2 PCIe x1 & 1 PCI (Extreme OC Certified) [-18]

?

there about same price on site atm.

Also are the duel 660 2gb (or 660ti) 2gb better then the single radeon?


also whats the 3570k mean?
Lol im literally hardware retarded no lie >__<

<--- simple photographer who loves to play games lol

 

[Boulard83]

With a 3570k you will need a Z77 xtrem4.

Comparison
Nvidia 660 ~=~ AMD 7850
Nvidia 660ti ~=~ AMD 7870
Nvidia 670 ~=~ AMD 7950

But AMD price theire card lower so it is often cheaper to go the AMD road. but AMD currently have some issue with CFX drivers so this is not the best route to go for multiple GPU's.

If you game at 1080p ( single 1920x1080 ), a single 660ti/670 or 7870/7950/7970 is enough to max ( or nearby ) pretty much any current games.

The 3570k is a processor .... I think you have ALOT, i mean a real damn lot, of reading to do before buying yourself your own PC. Read reviews, ALOT of reviews. Then read AGAIN, alot of reviews from ALOT of dirrerent web site.

3570 is the CPU. The K on the end means the CPU can be overclocked.

Sin4life I don't think you're going to get a good deal buying one of these prebuilt PCs. You're much better off putting one together yourself. It's extremely straightforward to do. You just need a screwdriver. That's it.

People on this forum really recommend ASRock motherboards a lot. I personally use ASUS all the time. Everybody has preferences. Gigabyte and MSI make nice motherboards too.

If you really want good performance I'd recommend going a little higher spec on the video card than others have. My suggestion would be

3570K CPU
Hyper 212 CPU cooler
Z77 motherboard of your choice
7970 or GTX 680
Corsair CX500 or 600 power supply

The cpu cooler is so you can overclock your CPU. You can push it to 4.5Ghz easily and get a nice little performance boost. The cooler is only about 30 bucks.
