It's decent, you'll have no problems playing most games on high if not max settings with a playable FPS; I see no fault in it

For your budget, it is bad. I could've built a much better one. I would name the things that are terrible, but you already built it and there is no turning back.

Also, there is no such thing as a 380x *cough* Masa. The 380 is a re-branded 285.

If you want good performance I would suppose it is pretty big. But since you bought it, it'll do. Just keep in mind, get an SSD and upgrade the PSU ASAP.

Masa wrote The 380X is essentially a rebranded 280X with an increase in VRAM and clock speed, so it wouldn't be a huge jump; just thought they were similarly priced so would make sense to get the newer one if you're building new.
Since you've already got it there's no point upgrading

There is no 380x. The 380 is not "essentially a rebranded 280x". The 280x uses GCN1.0 architecture, whereas the 380 uses GCN1.2. The 380 is essentially a year or so old, the 280x is closer to 4 years old since it's a rebadged 7970.

OP-For $1200, it's pretty poor. No aftermarket cooler with a Z97 chipset motherboard and unlocked CPU? Huge waste, especially since you're not overclocking, apparently. $1200 rig deserves at least an R9 390, not a 280x. I sure hope you never spent $140 on your OS. No SSD in a $1200 rig? Eesh.

Why is there so many people that come on here and hate but don't even care to explain why? They will just say this computer is bad for the money. At least explain your opinion hes asking for opinion so you should give a reasoning.
