Hello,

I saw this, and I thought I was a quite good prebuilt pc, a bit pricy though, but I heard a lot of good stuff about CyberPower.

Anything that should be added or could be degraded ?

(NB: I know it's cheaper to build it yourself)

LOL!!! Pairing an i7 4770K with an R7 260X is idiotic. That is like putting the hugest turbo-charger on the tinest engine.
More balance would be an i5 4670K or even the B85 motherboard chipset and an i5 4440 and an R9 270X.

This is unless you don't intend to game much but need a very powerful CPU.

If it's for gaming, then you could swap the 4770k for the 4670k and go with a GTX760 for less or a GTX770 for slightly more- this would perform better.

you're pairing a 260x with a 4770k.. you should get a much better graphics card and a stronger power supply

Prebuilt PC's on sale generally equate to - "What crap parts do we want to get rid of this week?"

agree with better graphics, and if need be lower cpu if gaming only. Also, if your going with that cpu i7 don't get a 120mm radiator cooler, you'll need a 120-140mm.

You can change that build like this,it would be better.
Also change the psu to the corsair cx 600m and you could get some money back by getting the 1tb hdd instead of the 2tb hdd.
I also changed the motherboard to the GIGABYTE Z87X-SLI,i think it has a better vrm.This helps with overclocking.
With these changes would you be at £684 ex. VAT (£820.80 in VAT) instead of the £683 ex. VAT (£819.6 in VAT) of your original one.
