Nice low budget gaming rig

Bought this got it 2 days later. I bought windows 7 with 2 sticks of the same ram for $119. Put it all together and got a 8 core with 16 gigs ram and the motherboard is easy to OP. I play Battlefield 3 and looks great. Only think I can say wish the hard drive was alittle big bigger but still a 6g speed hard drive. You can't buy this rig for under 1k. I payed just under $700 for this with rebates. Put it all together in a hour and half. Case is nice even have a place for water cooling if you want. Motherboard is Military class and ram is nice. Video card works great with this board. Again nice deal don't pass it up if your on a budget and want to play all the games.

Fastest, smoothest kit ever bought

I added 8gb more RAM and a 128gb SSD. Words cannot describe how fast it is compared to my previous build. This thing will boot up in under 10 seconds, will install Windows 7 Ultimate in under 10 min. The MSI Bios is the top of the class. Very very easy overclocking, but I found that OC is quite unnecessary with a build like this! Make sure you do, however, switch your RAM speed to 1600mhz in the Bios because it defaults to 1300mhz. Id does everything you could possibly want it to do. HD Video is crisp and smooth as well. Definitely worth the price!!!

Best Customer Service - Bad PSU

This is the first Computer I constructed myself. It was easy and straight forward. The Bundled PSU (Diablotek DA Series 600w ATX Power Supply) crapped out in less than 4days, which always got One Star ratings. When I inquired about this to Customer Service, they immediately expedited me a new one! Processor Fan is a bit LOUD, but I plan to upgrade to a Liquid Cool. So far, this is a splendid machine for my high end games and television.

Mismatched components

Nice specs, but they are a poor match for each other. 1) Power supply cable does not reach motherboard connector unless you flip the PS and run the cable over the video card. 2) Case has card reader with USB3 header connector. Motherboard does not have a connector. 3) Cable management is a nightmare with this case. 4) Having problems installing Windows 7, 64-bit.
