Hi, the picture looks really nice.
Only i do wonder, did you pick that one because it looks so good on the outside? if your answer is yes , please go look for a pc
that looks better on the inside.
AMD isnt that great, id go for an i5 or i7 pentium.

Hmm.

Ok,first off,6 cores for that price!?,holy fuck.

Sencond,only 4GB hmmm its not great,but I'd like abit more info on the graphics card being used with it,If you can then switch it over for an Nvidia Geforce 6500+,if you cant get Geforce,aim for something with atleast 1.5Gb of memory,this will help when running MC.

Other than that it seems pretty good to me,but you may want to wait for a few more replies first

Enough ram but not nearly enough for that price, small HDD, no graphics card, product spec mismatch in operating system

Basically you are paying for the cheapest RAM possible, a ricer case, NO GRAPHICS CARD, MINIMAL POWER SUPPLY (assuming since it's not even listed, it probably doesn't even have one if it's not listed), and a semi-good processor that will make people buy it because it's water cooled.

I would skip this and build my own

Hi there! @wimpywolf Do you know how to build a computer or do you need a computer already build.

Here are some recommend specs you want to look for
RAM at least 8GB (2GB for Windows/6GB for Other Files)
Graphics Card: Look for graphics cards around the Radeon HD 6770 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 TI range or higher.
I recommend doing a Crossfire on a Radeon HD 6770 or SLI on NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti
HDD Look for minimum 1TB or more.
Power Supply minimum of 600 watts. 800 watts of your doing crossfire or SLI on the Medium-high end video cards.

A true thing to note. The AMD FX Processors that came out a few months ago. Unfortunately the Eight-Core is not actually a 8-Core processor. It is a Quad-Core CPU + 4 Threads. Bascially a Intel i7 2600K will beat it even though the cache and clock is lower.

these days you can get better stuff cheaper in some pre-build computers anyways.

do what some other people do, build your own i mean the thing looks nice but your never really gonna get what YOU want unless you order in the parts you want and so on and so forth.

also it may take a long time but when its finished you would be extremely satisfied, not only with the computer, but with yourself for having that much patience

I guess in my opinion just order custom build a computer online on cyberpowerpc.com
