It is a decent build, however you could do much better by building your own computer and save more money. Also do you really need two dvd drives? Part of your money is being wasted since this pre-assembled build uses a CPU with an integrated GPU and then they replace it with a HD 7850. The integrated GPU costs more money than a CPU without a GPU around the same performance. If you ask me it will be a smooth running desktop but I do not like the fact there are parts that in here not really necessary.

Hi, yes the CPU was the only one offered online with this build. The person buying wants two DVD drives. They do offer several Gpu's. any suggestions?
