CPU is ok
GPU is low end
PSU is fine
RAM is slow unless it's duel module than running at 2066MHZ is great
HDD is fine
Mobo is fine
SSD is good
What case is it?
Other than that, not bad for the price.

I would say you could get around 450, but your price is okay

Pretty decent for the price, although the HD7770 is pretty 'outdated' now. You would want to upgrade the GPU if you'll be gaming but if it's not for gaming, or if you'll only be playing low end games such as Minecraft then it's fine.

It don't work like that haha. He means 1333MHz. Which is perfectly adequate.

Where, because I'd like to buy 10 of them!
OP: That is very cheap, the GPU is fine for gaming, just don't expect super high graphics.
Buy it.

Hey McNasteh! I just built a pretty decent PC for just $550. I would recommend this over the one you're currently trying to buy (If you have the extra $50). This one has a AMD FX-6300 6-core CPU with a 750 Ti SC (750 Ti SC beats out the 7770 by a mile). Just those combined should be able to get you running on BF4 Ultra at around 50-60 FPS. I will also recommend another option for the graphics card, in case you wanna save even more money, then I will put another GPU option down below and that will set you at exactly $500 (R7 260x). But I would go with the 750 Ti SC due to it being faster. Another thing that you get with the R7 260x and not the 750 Ti SC, is that you get to do crossfire with another R7 260x in the future! The 750 Ti SC does not support SLI and you would have to buy a whole new GPU to upgrade your performance (Not like you have to upgrade it any time soon). Hope you enjoy!
Build with the 750 Ti SC ($550 but more performance):
Optional GPU choice (R7 260x but with less performance):

I honestly thought that I would have to buy a pre-built one myself for my first build because I wouldn't have the time to do it. But there are plenty of YouTube tutorials out there if you don't know what you're doing. Building should only take like a couple hours or so. +You get way more performance when you build it yourself. Pre-built one's are to over priced for what you get. And you could just torrent a windows 7 or 8.1 OS to a flash drive or something which is what I did. But if you're dead set on getting a pre-built one then I'll find something! Glad to help!
