That video card isn't very powerful.

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 15, 2013

it is more powerfull

bad_eyes83 · Aug 15, 2013

and it uses less power lol... sorry I had to put that one in

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 15, 2013

yeah thats right

8350rocks · Aug 15, 2013

That's actually a good build...my nitpick would be to get win7 over win8, because I hate win8.

Other than that...looks good.

bad_eyes83 · Aug 15, 2013

I have heard so many people say how much they hate win 8.... I have yet to know why myself, and I am not going to find out why, it sounds like win me or vista lol

8350rocks · Aug 15, 2013

bad_eyes83 :

It would probably be good on a touch screen...but it is terrible with a mouse...

bad_eyes83 · Aug 15, 2013

that is enough for me, stick with win 7 for now until something else comes out more like win 7
