Yea it is amazing. 10/10.
Two GTX 560's!
It could play any game on highest settings and highest FPS.
But I don't know about 3000 dollars.
Try building a custom PC, it's cheaper.

It's good but expensive. Doesn't matter if it has 2 gtx 560's.. If you want a good pc, buy a i7 2600k and a gtx 580 or 590.

I just built the same PC on a website, that cost $150 less.

Also, why would you buy all that crap? You could get a pretty sweet rig for waaaaay cheaper.

It has the latest i7, unlocked... with SLI 560ti. If you don't know how to overclock(i doubt you do, since you're asking on here if that's a good pc) Then there's absolutely no reason to buy the 3930K.

Also, the nvidia GTX 580 is top on benchmark atm.

I'm not sure if there's a place near you that could build your pc for you... but buying your own parts is always the better option, it's cheaper and a much better value for money.


Case: Cooler Master HAF932
Motherboard: ASUS Z68 P8Z68-V PRO
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600 3.40GHz (Not the 2600k, since you probably don't know how to overclock it)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GTX 580 (Try buy the EVGA NVIDIA GTX 580, they're good)
RAM: 8GB G.Skill DDR3 12800
Power Supply: Corsair 750HX
HDD: Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black
Cooler: Noctua 6 NH-D14 (Although, unclocked cpus are normally alright with their on base stock coolers)

That comes out to 1,456.88 which is $2272.46

So, if you have got somewhere near you or someone you know that can build you a pc with the parts and you're really buying a new one. Then buy those parts, it's a pretty sweet set up and you'll save $600
