    It's perfect if you don't want to overclock, although I think you can save getting the German version of Windows (can still use English I think) and spend the savings on an i5-3450. Also, don't get that hard drive, get a comparable Seagate Barracuda 7200 as a boot drive instead.

    Forgot to mention that I'll be using the pc for moderate gaming for games such as Starcraft II, Minecraft and video rendering for YouTube. Thanks for your suggestion, I'll look into it.

    Just did some research and turns out you cannot change the language from german to english unless its Windows7 Ultimate Edition.

    You can download the English ISO. All you are paying for is the license key.
