Is this computer worth 900?

zandapanda2014 · Apr 28, 2014

Intel Core i5-4440(3.30 GHz)
- 8GB RAM -
2TB HDD
- Thermaltake Chaser A31 Mid-Tower Chassis -
Thermaltake Litepower 600w - DVDRW (NO OS)
GeForce GTX 750 1GB GD5 Graphics Card

I want to game and have an overall good computer. This is in Australia so prices are generally higher. Is this worth 900?

Looks like it is worth $900

Not sure about Australia, but in the United States that would be more like a $600-700 PC.

The specs are worse than my £450 PC, so I don't know if they're worth it. I don't how Australian dollars work, though. Perhaps £450 is about that price?

danielnicee :

Generally, just double the amount in pounds to get the price in Aus.

Also, being another Aussie, it's all right overall, it's not amazing value, but it's certainly not a rip-off.
I always recommend building your own, however, if you really don't want to, that'd be worth going with.

Yes if you don't want to build your own go for it. If you don't mind building it then this one is more worth your time: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/3A1Ly

That's already a bit over budget, and doesn't include an optical drive or operating system.
