Just picked this thing up for a gaming machine for 120$ after selling another tower i had with an old q9400. Threw in my old gtx750ti and a 500gb hdd i already had, and its a beast! Runs everything great so far, watch dogs 2. Mafiaiii. Mass effect. High settings with some fxaa at 30+ 1080p. Actually feels a lot smoother than my old fx6300 with the same card.
The only thing i was worried about when i got it, is how huge it is. Full atx case with 1100w psu, i was worried it would use way more power than my old pc with fx 6300.
If im not mistaken, even with a big psu that it has its only drawing what it needs for the components its running. From what ive fpumd with online spec sheets from dell website and cpuboss, my cpu actually uses less power than my amd fx did, and i know the video card is very low powrr requiments.
Just trying to get some comfirmation that thing isnt going to suck too much energy and cause bill to spike.
