Hi.
I am looking at getting in to PC gaming, and I think I will go with this prebuilt rig (as a have no idea how to build a PC and this one comes with a 18 month warranty):

CPU - Intel Sandy Bridge Quad Core i5 2500k 4GHz 6MB LGA1155 cache

Motherboard - Intel P67/H67 Express Chipset, Support for DDR3 2133/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules, USB3+SATA3, support crossfireX

Memory - 6GB corsair Dual Channel, DDR3-1333 (comes with lifetime warranty)

Hard Disk - 1TB, 7200rpm SATA3 HDD

GPU - Asus GF GTX 570 PCI-E 2.0 1280MB DDR5 320bit, 742/3800MHz, 2x Dual-Link DVI, 1x mini HDMI, Fan

Case - Aywun GAME Series G06 Black mid tower ATX case with side window (pretty crappy case I know, would definitely by a new one in the future if I do buy this system)

Power Supply - 650W ATX PSU

It will cost me just under 1700 New Zealand dollars (which I think works out to be around 1390 American Dollars).
Is it a any good? Will I get upwards of 45fps at max settings, 1680x1050 resolution on Crysis 2?

Your input will be much appreciated.
 
Chances are its not good.

1/ the model and manufacturer of the motherboard is not mentioned . Could be very basic .

2/ 6 gig of RAM? Motherboards with the P67 chipset use dual channel RAM . Generally you'd instal 2 x2 gig for gaming . If a 3 x2 gig kit has been installed the system will be forced to run the RAM in single channel and performance will be less .

3/ aywun ..

4/ no brand name on the psu . Could be junk or just very inefficient .

Head to pricespy.co.nz and have a look at a 2500k , the p67 motherboards , 2 x2 gig of RAM etc etc
