Good Deal?

[gamer128]

Ok so I was looking around online and I think I found a pretty decent deal on a cyberpower PC. It is at walmart.com and here is the link:

http://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-CyberpowerPC-GLC1202/15773562

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has a i7 2600k which I would take full use of by streaming video games like BF3.

8gigs of RAM

GT 450 (Medium Level GPU)

Liquid Cooling

1 TB 7200 RPM HDD

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think this is a pretty decent deal as I can't build one that good for around the same price. What I was thinking is getting this now, then next year when the new GPUs come out, upgrade the graphics card. I will be using it for streaming video games and playing video games. Do you think it is a good deal as far as the water cooling and how upgradable is it? Thanks for your input!

Is this for gaming? If it is you could do quite a bit better for the even less if you wanted to build your own and a 450 is a pretty weak gpu.

Yes it is, I was thinking about building one myself and since I will be streaming quite a bit I thought the i7-2600k would be pretty good. It is for gaming though. Also, wouldn't it be quite decent once I upgraded the GPU next year? I know the GPU is pretty weak but it plays BF3 at HIGH at 720p. I guess if I can do better than I might as well though.

I couldn't see what the motherboard and psu were. You might not even be able to put a high end card if it can't support the power. I'd try and use tom's guide for a 1000 build http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overclock-cpu-ssd,3027.html and modify it to what you want.

The PSU is a 700-watt PSU and the motherboard is a ASUS P8P67-M. I'm not too sure about the motherboard but I know because it is a p67 it can overclock.

well then motherboard is good. Just depends if the psu is any good. It's your money but I'd rather just spend 1000 and build the computer I want instead of buying a prebuilt with the intentions of modifying it later.

What brand of PSU? I like my Corsair 400CX's better than some 700 watt PSU's that I have seen.
