What do you plan on using it for? This could be a good or bad deal depending on what you want to do.

it's good but i suggest you get a better power supply like around 500 watts. besides that it's a pretty good gaming rig. there is room for expansion too so i'd say its good.

This computer will do fine on 300 watts. The TDP of the 2600K is only 95 watts and the card is pretty low-end sow it will be low too.

If you want a better card in it like a 6950 I would suggest a better PSU.

I also can't help but suggest that you build your own for this price.

for the price of close to 1k, im going to say no... you should Build a PC its cheaper and better than buying one, also it isnt as hard as you think, there are 8 parts to a PC
Cpu
Motherboard
Case
Video Card
HardDrive
Ram
Optical Drive
Powersupply

a decent version of all of those will run you around 500-800 dollars, and will run better and longer

the PC your asking about only has a 300 watt powersupply, which will NOT last you very long at all

i defiantly agree with TreNomymous, for close to 1k, you could do alot better if you build your own pc. The processor and ram is good, but you could get a nicer gfx card, a nicer HDD, and you could go with a cheaper CPU but just as good, you could get a bigger PSU, so you can upgrade and not worry about blowing up your computer.

all in all, it really depends on what your going to use this for, but if your using it for work/HW/surfing the internet, you could save some money, gaming and rendering stuff.... its ok, but you could get better for cheaper

No. Build your own. It'll be cheaper and fun. If anything, go with cyberpower.
