      I will just say this:

      You'll want a lot more than 128 GB if you're going for games. 1TB at least.

      Also that first GFX card isn't very up to date but it will probably do the job for High settings at least.


      Oh my god, I was gonna say the exact same things... :wacko: . Only from that website? You can get good ones on amazon as well like this one It's only about 700 dollars in your currency and then with the remaining money you can buy a nice 21" or 27" screen. And you've only spent about 1000 Dollars instead of 1220.

    • If you can, I would recommend building a PC as they are really not that hard to do, and will save you a large amount of money. I spent about 1200USD on my PC and well... these are my specs:

      My PC specs are: I5-3570K @ 3.8 GHz. ASUS GTX 770@1200Hz, 8Gb Corsair Vengeance RAM, Rosewill ThorV2 Tower, 850w Corsair CXM PSU, ASUS P8Z77 motherboard, and a 1TB WD Blue Hard drive.
      With 1300USD limit, you can get an even better setup.

      Places to buy parts: Newegg, PCPartPicker is really good for comparing prices, Amazon, and Microcenter (if you are nearby one of course).

    • Hi and thanks for the reply!
      I realized that I posted this ages ago and I have decided not for that build. I have edited the first post now .
      I dont wont to build one so please dont recommend that I do that, and I would like for it to be pre-build! Thanks!

    • Pre built are usually bad for the price.

      I know you said you didn't want to build one, but a pre-built one costs like $2000 when you can build it yourself for $1000.

      There's many stores in my area that will ask you want you want for specs and they will order and build it for you brand new. My friend works his own business for it and charges people usually $100+ or more depending on the build (He charged more the harder it was to build, but a lot of people purchased off him).

      I could recommend a build to you that you could go give to a store and they'll probably charge you $85-150 to build it for you.

      Good luck ;).

    • As everyone (and myself) has said that building one yourself will save you a lot of money, but if you want to go with Cyber Power PC, it is your choice after all.

      I found a PC build that is $1077 with an AMD FX-8350, GTX 760 2 GB , a 2 TB 7200RPM hard drive, 8GB 1866Mhz RAM, 64GB SSD for the operating system, windows 8 64bit, a 650 watt Thermaltake Gold rating PSU, etc.

      It also comes with Assassin's Creed Black flag and Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

      But; I found a custom built with pretty much identical parts for $949 to save you some extra cash if you are interested: pcpartpicker.com/p/2p7xz
      you could save even more by going cheaper on the case and PSU.



      EDIT: forgot to add the CyberPC build link: cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1FPCGP

    • Thanks to Fruken'Fracker for understanding. I live in Spain in the middle of no-where so there won't be any shops nearby, (just goats and cattle) and there are no technical shops in the city. I am definitely going with CyberPowerPC. I don't need a monitor just an OS and I just so you know THIS WILL BE FOR EDITING AND GAMING. Will I need more RAM for editing?

      That is a good build and thanks for that but I would like to get the Razer Hydras with it so it will get a bit expensive. With my build could I upgrade it for the same price do you think? The link:

      Thanks to everyone for replying so quickly though! :D

    • More RAM is recommended, but you really do not NEED 12gb or more RAM to do video editing.



      Also to Thelo, I REALLY do not recommend buying from Origin as if any pre built PC is to be ever considered overpriced, then it is Origin by a (fairly) long shot.

      An I7-4770K with a GTX 770 2gb build costs around $2000, which is horrible since you can build a PC at around the same price for $1150; give or take.
