Hey, I was wondering what you guys think about this computer: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Specs:
Intel I7 2600 QUAD CORE 3.4GHz/ 16GB DDR3 GAMING 1600MHz RAM / 1TB SATA3 HDD / GTX570 VGA /BLUE RAY COMBO DRIVE/ Windows 7 HOME PREMIUM 64Bit /690 GAMING CASE/ Wireless N Ready

What do you think about this computer for the price? (2183 NZD or 1625 USD)
Would I be able to run pretty much any game I wanted to on here, like CoD or Skyrim

Also I am not able to build my own computer yet so I can only really buy a premade one.

Thanks,
LycaN

Yeah you could run quite a lot of games on full graphics... I think theres even unwanted power in there aswell.

Thanks for your opinion

Do you guys think that I can run Skyrim on here with full graphics? I haven't played it so I'm not really sure how good a computer you would need.

Yes that computer will be able to play any game out on max settings perfectly. However building your own PC is always a better option then buying one. Here is an even better build with about the same price. This is without a monitor, OS, K/M, or anything else you might need. You can also try to find a HDD locally. I don't know why you say you can't build one. It's much easier then you would think.

i would advice to build the computer yourself and get two gtx 560s which will be cheaper than a gtx 570 and more powerfull

It's not cheaper to do that, it's $50 more. And not all games support crossfire.

Thanks to everyone for all of the help, I really appreciate it. I would like to build my own computer but my dad would never let me because he thinks that I'd break something so I have to get one like this.

What does a SSD do? I just noticed that the computer I'm looking at doesn't have one, and I was wondering if it's worth buying one and asking the company I'm buying this from to put it in for me.

Also is there much difference between an I7 2600 and 2600K? I should be able to upgrade that for about 30 USD (If they let me, I'm not really sure yet but it's only about 30 USD more)

The two above are idiots. Don't buy an Alienware, they are overpriced garbage. Building your own is really the best way to go and it is not hard at all.
