Luc2k Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Don't know what you're going to use it for, but if you're gaming on it, it's overpowered on the CPU side, could have shifted more to a better GPU (nothing a later upgrade can't fix though). The 830 would have been a better choice for a SSD and the PSU is overkill (wattage-wise). Anywho, sorry for being a negative nancy. Congratulations!

remixedcat Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Thanks Growled ;-) and I got this CPU cuz it was a good deal at microcenter... only 169 instead of 230 like newegg had it!!! Plus it's easier to upgrade the GPU. Also I love Antec and I needed a modular PSU. and The wattage is needed for upgrades. Got a good deal on it too. I am also doing a lot of Hyper-V stuff so I need a good CPU. What's nuts is I have 59 min runtime on my Back-UPs XS1000 reported by APC on this system... and I will have 39 minutes runtime gaming on skyrim at max settings!!!! This system is very efficient also becuase I have no optical drives, not many case fans and no LEDs or bling like my old system did. I also have no card readers or PCI card devices installed either... using onboard sound. I installed my OS with a USB Pen drive and I went from the first install screen to desktop in just 10 minutes!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phouchg Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Enjoy the ride... so to speak :D All real solid components, Three Hundred (Two) FTW - great looking, dirt cheap for the quality and spacing it offers. Haven't seen the revised edition, got the old one myself. I think they've even fixed fan controller wires so now they're attached to the back instead of I-don't-know-where-to-put-the-wretched-things, yes? remixedcat 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
