Is This A Good $2500 Gaming Build

yohan weir · Sep 30, 2014

Looking to buy a $2500 gaaming pc. Dont want to build it. I have been looking at this

http://pc.ncix.com/ncixpc/ncixpc.cfm?uuid=CC210835-32A5-4BD3-BD4B73823EFF1D77-6052917

Is this worth the money and will all the parts be reliable? I want quality parts that will last a while. The keyboard and mouse need to be included in price. Finally, I don't know about NCIX's shipping and their pc building quality. Should I be concerned?

No dear , it s not worth spending $2500 and getting only 2GB VRAM cards .

i would get i7 4790K + GTX 980 (no SLI) . i dont like Crossfire/SLI

yohan weir :

GTX 980 4GB VRAM is much better
Why Windows pro , save $50
Get an ordinary keyboard for $9 and save $180
my mouse is $7 save $70
and get i7 5930K = +$258
it supports x16/x16 SLI rather than x16/x8 of the current CPU

You don't need a CLC kit and an ROG motherboard, nor Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM, nor a Platinum efficiency PSU. ACX 2.0o coolers have some sort of a heatpipe problem, so better to avoid them right not.
