The i5 2500k is a great processor for gaming. It has a great value for performance and is a great over clocker! You can look up articles on google, but here is one:

Also, here is a link to the processor:

I've always had liked the motherboard P8Z68-V Pro. In that article that I showed you for over clocking they used the Deluxe version, but for $50 it's not worth it. All it offers is slightly bigger heatsinks and I think a couple more (insignificant) BIOS options.

SSD speed with HDD capacity
Intel Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance. It uses an installed fast SSD (min 18.6GB available capacity) as a cache for frequently accessed data. Harness the combination of SSD-like performance and response with hard drive capacity, that's 4X faster than a HDD-only system

Can you replace the ssd that comes with the motherboard?

This newegg combo is a winner. It should be cheaper but dang HDD prices have tripled since the flood.

I found this prebuilt pc http://computers.toptenreviews.com/gaming/cyberpower/cyperpower-pc-black-pearl-review.html

Do you think its worth the price?

 

[boeing114]

Yeah, it probably is worth the price, but there are a few things you may want to consider:

1) It is using the outdated LGA1366 socket. They're powerful processors, but you have NO upgrade path in the future. Also, the LGA1155 performs better in gaming benchmarks.

2) It's a prebuilt. Just to name a few, there are probably lower quality parts, and you have no documentation on the motherboard, ram or anything if something goes amiss.


So you could get it, and it looks like a pretty powerful machine, but for that price I'd really be worrying about the quality of parts, and the lack of documentation is never good. I'd suggest building a system.

Well, you see when you overclocking a CPU the warranty doesn't cover it, So i5 2500k is already a good Cpu with turbo boost you really don't want to ruin your intel CPU warranty
