That's a ripoff for $1500. You didn't list the cpu but it doesn't matter because their isn't one supported by that mobo that would justify that price. It has slow ram, most likely low quality psu, slow graphics card, and a decent motherboard.

For $1500 you should be able to get.

Core i7 920 quad core
x58 motherboard
3x1gb DDR3 1333mhz ram
WD 640gb hard drive
HD 4870
corsair 650tx psu
NZXT Tempest case

What did you plan on doing with it? I hope no gaming. Seems like you went way high end on the keyboard, mouse, dual monitors, etc. then for your actual system, you used a cheap case/psu combo, slow video card and slow ram. The motherboard is good, the hard drive is good, but other than that......

 

[Michowski]

Um, if you think your going to game with that, your not. Sounds like it would be a solid computer if you were gonna surf the web and use desktop apps but thats as far as I would take it. Wont do much more.

 

[NightSurge]

Not that we are trying to be overly negative. You probably spent quite a pretty penny on upgrading the monitors, keyboard, and mouse ($400+).

That leaves $1,100 for your tower, and it just seems like you didn't get very much for the amount you put into it. Where did you buy the parts, and perhaps you could tell us the purpose of the machine?

 

[v8killaz]

1600 is alot
im builing mine with a $500 budget
and so far so good

btw im selling a 600watt ocz psu for $80 brand new never been used
i have two and dont need both

 

[Joeyboy]

maybe it's more for movie watching and stuff rather then serious gaming. Lol you can so tell it's a pre-built, always the GPU that suffers.

That and PSU.. which they did

Quite shabby... Possibly the shabbiest, shabby, shab deal ever... :freak:

Totally disproportionate build and way overpriced (unless it's a strange media hub with dual monitors that doubles as a server with all that ram?).

always the GPU that suffers.

They can get away with that too because unless you're learned in the ways of the GPU naming scheme, you won't know the different between an 8800GTX and a 9600GT. Most other parts are quantifiable!
