Got a custom made gaming tower at a pawn shop called king of trades for 1200$. When i looked inside of it. It has 6 fan's. One on the back,one on the top, one mounted in the middle and the three other are on the graphics card not sure how much they are. Its stats
16 gb Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 with 4 gb vr 3gb usable
Intel (R) Graphics 4600
Mother board manufacturer Gigabyte Technology co., Ltd. Name/Id H87-D3h-CF. also has a thing on it saying ultra durable
CPU Intel Core i7-4770k @ 3.50GHZ
HARD DRIVE ATA ADATA SX900 SCSI disk device 238 gb ssd, ATA WDC WD10EZRX-00L SCSI disk device.
Did a free benchmark and got a score of 1060 on a program called performancetest 8.0 evaluation version. Not sure if it's just the program self scoring system or used universal.
What's the weak link in the system? and was it a good buy?.
First time getting into gaming pc's

weak link is the graphics card and motherboard. wasnt a well thought out build. they bought an overclocking cpu with a non overclocking motherboard which is silly. also the i7 very powerful and the gtx 760 is not very powerful at all. would have made sense to spend the extra hundred the i7 was worth to get an i5 and a better card. you could make yourself a much better custom gaming build for $1200. also it is not worth $1200 at all for a used system.

Got my eye's on NVIDIA - GeForce GTX 970 4GB and MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard a 500$ upgrade. I manly bought the pc to get my self into custom pc's. I found that having a powerfull cpu and a less powerfull graphics card made it so i can put a shit ton of mods on games like skyrim and be real stable where its harder to get fps loss as it falls. Other then my alien ware that was given to me when the fps gets hit it will drop to a low fps and bonce back up.
