I bought this system for $1100. every thing still has 1 year warranty. Is this a good deal?

I'm meh on it. You can probably build yourself a lot more computer for $1100 today.

tiny voices · Oct 17, 2014

It is a VERY good system that is still relevant and should max any game for a while.

For $1100 you did well.

Not horrible , not great

I wish I got that for $1100, that's so much better than my $1200 PC.

viewtyjoe :

Seriously?

You just got a system with a a 3930k and a 690 for $1100. Id be pretty happy. Id see if you can hunt down another 690 on ebay. I cant remember how much video memory they have though. you may be better off selling the 690, buying a 980 and buying an extra 980 depending on what you want to do

tiny voices · Oct 17, 2014

The 690 is BETTER than the 980. It is even with the 780ti in performance.

kkid1412 · Oct 17, 2014

thank you ya all. Deal like this is only on craiglist lol. the guy i bought it from is a professional video editor so yeahh lol!

tiny voices :

In benchmarks, the 690 compares relatively evenly with the 970 at 1440p and below, but gets destroyed at 4k resolutions, and the 980 is even or better in just about every benchmark, but the 900 cards run on 75% of the power. Unless the OP is a video editor or does other heavily parallelized work, the 3930k isn't much better than an i5 4690k, and there's no real upgrade path should they desire it. 32GB of RAM is mostly pointless for the majority of users.

Is the computer a good deal for what it is? Yes. Is it better than what you could build today for the same money? Not significantly. My opinion of it stands.

Looks to me like the 690 BEATS the 980 at more than 1080p in a few games and is dead even in the rest.
