Tiger Direct Barebones Kit Help

[happy4154]

Hi,
I am new to the forums and I was wondering if this barebones kit (link below) would make a good moderate gamer/video editing pc and is it worth the money? I wanted to stay under 500 dollars.
Thank you!

It's not bad, but you could do better buying separate components. The i5-2500k is a processor just begging to be overclocked, with a H61 board - this isn't possible. That bundle is basically overpaying for a CPU, and under-paying for a motherboard.

Fill out the template for build advice on this link: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261222-13-build-advice and see what builds people come up with.

This months System Builder from Tom's hardware is a fantastic $500 build which I highly recommend you check out: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/phenom-ii-overclock-graphics-card,review-32280.html
