Not high end. Better than average, yes. The GPU is high end. But a HDD for a system/OS drive...wouldn't say it's high end. And not to stir up the dumb AMD vs. Intel debate, but there are a lot of Intel CPUs that will outperform the FX-8350 in that system, by noticeable amount in many applications.

yeah, looks pretty high end to me. being a high end machine doesn't automatically mean you have to spend more money. AMD has great pricing for their hardware. you wont see the FX 8350 perform as well as the latest I7 processors on some benchmarks, but bang for the buck you can't beat the setup you currently have listed. HD7970 is a great video card for AMD Radeon. only thing you could do better is to get a Solid State Drive for a boot drive (120gb or 256gb would do) as its the single best upgrade you can do on any computer. other than that, yes... pretty high end.

oh yeah, the mother board isn't so high end. get a motherboard with the 990FX northbridge. better performance, etc.
