Overall good. It can play even Crysis 2 on maximum assuming that you're playing up to 1920x1080. If you want to CrossFireX in the future, then you should get a more powerful power supply, maybe 1000w?

im just worried about the power supply.. from what i was reading on these forums it isnt a good power supply?? or am i mistaken

 

[shadowsfall111]

im just ganna get the best rated power supply i can find which was 850 Watts - Raidmax RX-850AE.. ( within my price range that is)

I wouldn't get anything branded xtreme gear especially the power supply.
The raidmax is better but not a whole lot go with a good one such as corsair, cooler master or thermal take. A good 650 watt from any of those companys will be fine unless your planning to xfire in the future then go at least 750w or 850w.

i would avoid that power supply. Get a more known bran. Also avoid cp too... In the last 9 years i have bought 3 computers. 1 from CP, built one, and custompcandrepairs was my last one. I saw good posts on here about them so i tried them. Building it myself was the mot satisfying, yet time consuming. CP was nothig but a headache with a mediocre product, and custompcandrepairs was the easiest most hassle free way. Building it yourself will be a little cheaper but not by much.
