Where are you building that? Thought it was PC Specialist but I can't see that processor anywhere. A good chip, but expensive if all you are doing is gaming and not video editing on this PC.
The graphics card is a little lacking in comparison so you should move down to an i5 3570K processor and up to a 760GTX nVidia card. Should keep the bill around the same.

Cheers for reply I'm getting that with custom pc.ie ya all I'm doing is movies Internet and gaming mainly total war series I was thinking it was ok but I no nothing about computers

what is the price for it, and what will you be using it for? Its a good PC, but may not be suitable for your needs, and may not be good value depending on what you are paying for it.

Also have a read up on custompc and ow they treat their customers before you order, as there have been numerous people complaining on here after ordering off them,which is generally too late to do anything about it.

Woah, that's a rip off.

They are good, can sometimes have backlogs, and they are more expensive than purchasing and putting it together yourself but they are pretty reliable and well built from what I hear anyway.
If you want it as cheap as you can get it, fill out the template from the stickies at the top of the forum, post it here and someone in Tipp might be able to help you build it from scratch.
