First just let me say this is my first time posting so excuse me if I have done something wrong. I am trying to get a new computer for gaming and am trying to keep my costs down. I saw this on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1291148
I plan on playing new games and older games like crysis 2 skyrim and minecraft. I would need to at least be able to play skyrim on high setting but ultra would be ideal. I also am interested in upgrading in the future so a motherboard capable of this is ideal. I don't need a future proof pc but something to hold me over would be great. My budget is 400-450 but I would like to pay less if possible. What do u guys think? Am I being to picky?

Not bad price for starter system. The power supply at some point would need to be replaced. A lot of cases with power supply's installed. The power supply most time is junk. I would buy another 4g dimm of the same brand and speed. 8g is the sweet spot now for most gaming rigs. If the onboard gpu can't play newer game at good fps you still have open video card slot to drop in a gpu.

I would rather have the Rosewill Stallion power supply with the lower CPU then have the higher CPU with a Logisys supply. What is the point of having a better CPU when your power supply is likely to fry the while system? Logisys make crap power supplies. Look if they have an Antec combo. They make great cases and power supplies.

I just read a story on Tom's that AMD just lowered the price of their CPU's. I would wait a few days and check prices again. The $115 they listed of the 6300 is $140 on Newegg. I don't think Newegg has lowered their prices yet.

I would use http://pcpartpicker.com/ and just build your own. You get quality parts and don't have to settle on what they include. I bet you will find it for less than the $35 you save on the bundle.
