Sorry to break it to you, but generally, these cheap ebay *AMAZING* builds, are actually a pile of shit. The processor isn't great, the gpu isn't anywhere near good enough to play most pc games on even high settings, you'll be lucky to get medium, it's got an overkill 700w PSU, which you just don't need, 400w would be fine. It has a shitty case. The motherboard doesn't support PCI-E 3.0, which is below modern standards, so you would honestly be better off building it yourself.

Any prebuilt PC will generally be a lower performing machine compared to one you build yourself, so you might want to think about telling your friend to build one himself, it's easy and you won't mess it up if you know what you are doing and if you don't, a few hours on youtube should bring you up to speed.

ps. Darq we nearly have the same PC specs :p

I'm debating whether to upgrade to a Haswell i7 4770k and the Nvidia GTX 790 (If it's called that), but that will be a long time coming.

I was thinking about 3 Titans or going quad SLI on the 690, but I think i'm going to stay where I am until the new stuff comes along, If your upgrading your SSD then Intel make great performing drives, you should look into them.

That's what I was planning on, what transfer rates do you get?

At the moment i'm getting around 175-230mb per second after testing with Heavy Workload, and or the price you pay for the drive it's great!
