Hey everyone, I've been trying to search and look for a desktop computer and so far this is the one I've come up with off of cyberpower. Does this computer look okay? What might need changing? I'm out of date on computers and knowledge on computers for the past year or so because of military service so I need advice so that I do not accidently buy something and mess with the customization settings and then find out the hardware is conflicting or the cooling system just was not enough.

Once again thank you to anyone who spends a little time in responding to this, I truly appreciate your time.
 
First how much is this machine costing? Second I always prefer a more powerful single video card versus lesser powered vid cards in sli. 2 gts 250's are around $300 while you could get a single gtx 285 for around $350 or a gtx 280 for about $300.
 
The price starts at $1400, $1300 with a discount code I have. But with what is has in it atm its around $1600.
 
Any desire to build your own? for $1600 you could put together a sweet i7 system that would own that one. If not reconfigure your viedo cards to a single gtx 280 or 285. See if you could save a bit of cash by switching the q9650 to a q9550 The $50 more for the q9650 is not worth it.

QFT. And not to get too picky, I know power supply efficiency isn't up there on the list of what matters to too many people who are building high performance rigs, but I'm pretty sure a 680W is minimum for two of those bad boys, so I'd say go for a lower to mid high quality 700W PSU with good amperage.
