That's a bottom end PS, for one. As well, why a Z series MB instead of an H series if your CPU won't OC and you have no desire to? I'd get the H series motherboard and a larger power supply. You can stick with a standard CPU fan if gaming will be limited and you don't OC. I'd put the saved money into a second hard drive to use for backup as well. Many folks will probably add that the i7 CPU can be scaled back to an i5 without significant loss of performance but to get a decent video card instead. I'm not a gamer so can't offer anything in that regard from experience. My two cents.
Hello, I was currently considering upgrading my desktop. I currently have a Samsung touch screen computer(not sure the model exactly) But the Computer has a core i3 processor. All though the computer will surf the net fine and I can watch videos very easily. Once I start opening multiple windows the response i get from the computer is slow. It takes 3-5 seconds after I click on a tab to open up that certain window. And if I am in a skype call while trying to watch live streams and surf the web i can pretty much give up on that. The browser almost freezes completely and the browser crashes. So i decided to check out cyperpowerpc.com. I have about $1,200.00 to spend. So i decided to get a configurator and build my own.

I was pretty much looking for some feed back. I will be using the computer to watch multiple live streams, surf the web, listen to music all simultaneously. Also I was looking to playing some online games and maybe edit some videos here and there. I was questioning myself and wondering if i really needed an i7 processor or should i upgrade the graphics card? I just want some feed back if this is really what i should get considering what i'll be using it for, but i'll take any advice/recommendations anyone has. I listed all the specs. If i forgot something important let me know. I appreciate ANY feedback! Thanks ![]()
