Hello, Thank you for reading this message so far! I was really hoping someone could help me, I'm not all that technically saavy, and I'd like to know if this computer is worth what I'ts priced at ($889 USD/$1,280 CDN).

All feedback is helpful feedback! Are there any better deals out there? (I'm not looking to build the PC myself, but the webpage it's on builds it for me). Would this be a good choice for gaming? I'll be playing lots of Black Ops II, GTA V, and Battlefield 4. Would it run these games at over say... 60 frames per second?

If anyone got a better deal for cheaper or anything like that please let me know! Remember it's $1,280 CDN // approx. $889 USD.

P.S.

Is there anything that's REALLLYY worth upgrading?
I truely appreciate this,
Jacob

It's okay, but certainly not good. The GTX-960 is a mid tier card so don't expect to get 60 fps on more graphically intensive titles, I'd recommend an R9 380/ R9 390, or on the nvidia side a GTX 970. The RAM is quite fast and you'll be fine on that front for a while. The CPU isn't too shabby, but it runs very hot, so you'll need that liquid cooling if the FX-9590 is your CPU. Personally I'd just use an i5-4690k with a $30 air cooler. I think you could find a PC of this caliber on Craigslist for cheaper.

Thank you very much, have you seen any on Craigslist that are better? I've been looking all morning and I've come up dry.

I like the idea of getting the i5 4690k!

Would you be willing to help me find one with those specs for like maximum $1300.

Thanks!
