This one.

But change the PSU AND ADD A 1TB WD Blue drive.

I have found that their combos almost always use mediocre to garbage quality PSU's and those 4 are no exceptions.
I wouldn't even bother with the first , the i5 system is easily the best of the bunch but the PSU is mediocre quality.

Plan to remove mine 1 tb harddrive. And my 500 gb harddrive

Change the PSU , Linked a better one above.

mcconkeymike · Sep 29, 2016

I agree with bignastyid, the i5 is the best but that PSU isn't all that great. I would think about replacing it with a Bronze at least, probably a Gold.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 29, 2016

You don't need gold has nothing to do with performance and some Gold PSU's are junk.

Stigma311 · Sep 29, 2016

seems i ready i have WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive I still have the case for it.

Stigma311 · Sep 29, 2016

Stigma311 :

Overall it's garbage. PSU is abysmal quality and the FXs cpus are old and a poor value. And the 1060 is alot faster than a 750ti.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 29, 2016

Intel is the best with the 2 changes.

Stigma311 · Sep 29, 2016

talking about CPU cores, I thought 8 cores cpu like AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera are better then an Quad-Core like Intel Core i5-6500 Skylake Quad-Core ?

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 29, 2016

Not true , the i5 IS BETTER IN ALMOST ALL scenarios.

bignastyid · Sep 29, 2016

Stigma311 :

For many things like gaming 4 fast cores trumps 8 slow ones.

Stigma311 · Sep 29, 2016

Okay so I5 is better for then other one

Questions about the power supplys both from list of parts in combo pack and one from Sr 71 blackbird. Both of them have 80 plus . What does that mean

bignastyid · Sep 29, 2016

Stigma311 :

80 plus is an efficiency rating and is not a good gauge for quality.
