Not a big fan of the motherboard or the PSU... Did you already order those parts?

Gam3r01 · Apr 7, 2014

Motherboard is alright, the gaming version is better.
PSU again is alright, but it uses cheap capacitors so it can be offsetting. (Antec, seasonic, XFX for the PSU)

Sorry I meant the Gaming Edition

iambatman1929 · Apr 7, 2014

Yes I ordered those parts

Is their a better option?

Gam3r01 · Apr 7, 2014

Better, yes, worth canceling, no.
There are always better board, but they cost much more. The gaming version of the board is quality, and will run with no issues. PSU will hold its own until it needs to be upgraded.

It's an alright system, but if it's too late to cancel you'll be fine. If you can cancel here's what you can do:

why would you go with the MSI GeForce GTX 760 rather than the Asus GTX 760 OC

Slightly better cooling. But all around they are the same. If there's a cancellation fee or you can't cancel it, don't worry about it.
