Not bad but why the H61 motherboard?

And it looks like a pre-built so I'm guessing it was miles overpriced.

The 3770 is not unlocked so grabbing a P67/Z68/Z77 that supports overclocking would be useless.

The build is pretty bad.

i7's are useless for gaming and have no advantage over a 2500k/3570k. You could of saved $100 and put it towards a component that would make a difference now and in the long run like a PSU that's of quality, an SSD like the Crucial M4 or the Plextor M3, or an even higher end video card like a 7950 for example.

There are so many things wrong with it that I don't even no where to start, especially when it's all blue and bold. OP, are you trying to blind me?

you guessed wrong and it may be a little overpriced for the company to make some money and that was the only motherboard i could choose with out being a mini motherboard (or what every you call it) and it was custom made from pcspecialist.com

I think you should upgrade your PSU to atleast a 750w, as that is a powerful pc.
Overall pretty good and future proof

It really isn't, at all.

Why are you so arragont? Ofc this is good for atleast the next 3 years!
It's a high range pc, overpriced I agree.
But you are just getting cocky calling it a bad build. It's perfect for gaming
You say an i7 is no good? It obviously is. The i7 is one of the best processers around and without a good one how will it use the power from a grahpics card?

You make it quite clear that you're oblivious to the definition of cocky. It's not perfect for gaming considering games don't use the hyper-threading cores and it's a locked CPU. If he bought a 2500k / Hyper 212 and a higher end video card it'd be the same price but a better performer. Again, you don't understand how hardware works and you fail to realize games are GPU dependant and there won't be any major bottlenecks.

Processors do not mean anything when it comes to gaming. Any modern processor will do, if you are just going to game, then you didn't need an i7 and you could have put that extra money that you spent to get a better graphics card. If you are also going to be video editing with this machine, then I would understand the choice of the i7, but you're not. Every modern processor is good, and a processor doesn't use the power from the graphics card. They are totally separate.
