[Blout]

Hello,

I was wondering how my computer stands in the world, and if is a decent build for gaming and school work.

Here are My specs

CPU: AMD FX 8150
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Ram: DDR3 8GB
Motherboard: Asus M5A99X EVO
PSU: Corsair TX 750
HD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

If you need any more information let me know and i will see what i can get you.

Its a good Pc, Overkill for School Work , and its at entry level when it comes to gaming, it let you plays every game but not at high resolutions and with ultra settings.

Has it already been made or is it just a spec list so far?

Basically what Chulex said, overkill for office work (but any gaming rig will be), and entry level for gaming. That 550Ti is holding the system down in terms of gaming performance.

Thanks guy, it's a rig I currently run on. Thanks for the info, when I get the chance I will see about upgrading the video card, any other thoughts?

Other than the weak GPU, nothings wrong with it.

Though an SSD would benefit the system a lot. Fast boot times and any programs installed to it will load almost instantly.
Heres my SSD of choice.
