(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This is the best Tower Only Gaming PC you can get sure if you spend a little more you can get better. This WILL MAX OUT EVERYTHING. THIS WILL MELT YOUR FACE OFF WITH A PURE GAMING PC PERFORMANCE AT A PREMIUM PRICE. this is to compete with other premium computer. its cheaper than a iMac, its cheaper than buying a high end Dell XPS, or HP Pavilion desktop to do GFX etc and those can't max out every game on the market today

You must login or register to view this content. this is a step up from before now it is overclockable fast 4Ghz and includes a 90GB SSD to use a boot drive to load all your stuff except games and some movies super fast.

$1000 is to much!

no it isn't for a good quality future proof gaming pc it isn't. you can get cheaper ones but this is top quality, what famous people on youtube who make pc gaming vids would have. and if you bought it prebuilt it would be close to $1500 easily

God if I had $1k....

Change the GPU to a 670, swap the motherboard out for a Z77 and use an overclockable CPU.

ok first. diffrence of $50 at between a 680 and 670 ok. that cpu and a 3570k $30 that mobo and a decent quality z77 $30 and a decent cpu cooler $25 that would go over $1000

The difference between a 680 and 670 is 100$, not 50$. So if you factor in the correct price difference between the 680 and 670 you can get the 3570k, a Z77 and a Cooler. Although a cooler isn't neccessary atm, you can OC to 4.0Ghz on a stock cooler just fine.

the cheapest 680 is out of stock so in stock your right, burt still the 22nm ivys run hot so even overclocking on a stock cooler isn't ok as it was with sandies, and i don't like using the cheap off brand motherboards, they are unreliable and well sketchy.

for the cuda cores your losing and texture fill rate from going to a 670 its not worth the price difference at all if i had the money at the time i would choose a 680 over just about any other gpu out minus a 7950 or 7970 and i just dont like how amd cards look on games is why i choose not to buy them

Notice how this is a GAMING computer. CUDA cores have a minimal affect on the performance on gaming. If this computer was being primarily used as a rendering machine, then I'd say yeah the CUDA cores will help, but if it was for that, you would want a Quadro instead. The CUDA cores only primarily affect things like encoding videos and hardware acceleration for stuff like video decoding. I would agree with FlyingIrishMan on his recommendation because that would be the best to maximize his performance for gaming (that being said with a 670 you're already getting pretty much all your games on Ultra settings.)
