This is for my son for Xmas. Neither of us can build a system so it's a mute point. I wanted to stay around $1,500.
There are certain brands I can't specify, so this is what they came up with. Right now my son is into Skyrim with downloading a lot of mods for it. Watches Netflix on it instead of reg. tv, and is on YouTube a lot.
