I do know how to build myself. I needed something to build on top of though so I'm not worried about saving money I just needed a starting point and this seemed worth it to me.

its fine to have something to build on. you'll be able to run basically every game, just not more instensive ones on high settings. if youre not a graphics whore youll be fine

tbh you should have bought a r9 285 msi 2gb and an i-5 4440 atleast

Def am not a graphics whore lmao.. been playing on a dell inspiron for like 7 or 8 years it had 512mb dedicated video ram and 1g ram so this to me is like the best lol. The reason I didnt just build on top of the dell was because the case was so limited and small.

The Dell Inspiron was usually safer. What a waste of money, it's a shame. "I needed a starting point", no you didn't, could have built a far, far superior rig that would be much less likely to start smoking all of a sudden for less than what you paid. You paid mid ranged money for a terrible quality, low end rig.

Why did you "need something to build on"? I didn't and it just meant that I was able to cut out extra costs... I just don't understand why, I'm not saying that you've made a bad decision or anything...

An APU is not something you can build on haha kind of a dead socket, should have went with an Intel build imo

FM2+ isn't a dead socket, but it doesn't leave much room for CPU upgrades unless OP switches his motherboard. Wasted money regardless.

Yeah I agree, he shouldn't have to switch his mobo out I didn't mean to down vote you btw

People are really downing this build when it isn't that bad. Everyone here seems to get butthurt when someone doesn;t build their PC.

It really is that bad though. Don't pretend like we're the bad guys for not wanting people to waste money on shit like this. Guaranteed to have a poor quality PSU which puts everything in the rig at risk. Unbalanced or nonsensical CPU/GPU combinations, such as an APU and 750Ti. Or in "high end" pre-builts, i7-4790k's on H81 boards paired with GTX 760's for "gaming" systems. It's ridiculous. These companies use bad quality, and low-end components to boost their profits.
