    i5 or i7?

    • Lycan on 19/09/2013 - 11:32

      i7, there is no i5 4770.

      • King Steuart on 19/09/2013 - 11:38

        The title says i5 which is what Kenman is getting at.

  • Farncir on 19/09/2013 - 11:32

    How much more would it cost to upgrade the power supply to a 750/650w power supply?

    • Lycan on 19/09/2013 - 11:36
      +2

      It's not needed, unless you plan to use dual-graphics card…

      • Farncir on 19/09/2013 - 11:42

        I plan on throwing my gtx 580 into this, and that by itself has a minimum 600w power supply

        • ItsMeAgro on 19/09/2013 - 11:46

          A Thermaltake 550W will have no trouble with a 580. It's a good brand.

          The card manufacturer specifies 600W because a crappy no-name 600W can have trouble sustaining 300W of actual power, high enough amperage on the 12v rail, etc.

          There's no law saying the PSU company has to meet any kind of wattage standards, so most crappy PSUs way exaggerate, leaving High-end GPU makers in an awkward position where their customers will complain "your card doesn't work!!!" unless they also way-exaggerate the wattage requirements needed.

        • Gnostikos on 19/09/2013 - 13:12

          He is correct.

          I'm running two GTX 460's on a 550W PSU. Have been doing so for 3 years now. No issues whatsoever.

          As long as your PSU is at least 82% efficient or higher and comes to within 0.3 volts of the rated voltage on the main rails (check with HWMonitor), you'll be fine.

          good advice

  • Lycan on 19/09/2013 - 11:35

    For the ~$200 you save, I'm almost tempted to buy the HD7850 OC 2GB

    • ItsMeAgro on 19/09/2013 - 17:34

      That's actually a good price, but if you want this PC for gaming, you'd be spending too little on the video card and too much on the rest of it.

      A much faster gaming PC could be put together with $300 GPU and $400 for everything else.

  • knoxy1001 on 19/09/2013 - 11:45

    Would this be any good for a HTPC? Any thoughts?

    • Hivetyrant on 19/09/2013 - 11:49

      Like buying a low end Ferrari to go grocery shopping.

      Great specs but would be overkill for a HTPC.

    • ItsMeAgro on 19/09/2013 - 11:57

      You could build an equally-good HTPC for about $500 less.

      It's also a full-sized pc, many people want smaller devices under the TV.

    • knoxy1001 on 19/09/2013 - 13:13

      Where would you guys recommend looking for a HTPC build? Whirlpools "performance" HTPC comes close to 1K, this is cheaper than that.. Haha, thanks!

      • UFO on 19/09/2013 - 15:14

        you dont need a lot of grunt for a htpc.

        full hidef bluray rips run stutterfree and perfect on my old hp proliant server…. and my laptop has more grunt than that thing.

        main things with htpc's is small foot print, low power, and quiet.
        any pc built in the last 5 years will satisfy processing power, just tack on a passive cooled (no noisy fan) graphics cars and youre good to go.

        but if its going to sit next to the tv, more thought is required.

        as has already been said, this thing is complete overkill for a htpc…. if that's all you plan to to do with it.

      • ItsMeAgro on 19/09/2013 - 17:31

        The problem is, no-one seems to be mass-producing a sensibly-priced HTPC. Not entirely sure why - maybe most people prefer to buy "set-top-box" type appliances? Plus very low margins in selling a $300 PC, I guess.

        OzBargainers suggested CPL do one a month or so back, and they did, but they chose a $600 or so build.

        If you want to build it yourself, research it a bit on reddit.com/r/buildapc and they'll help you put one together to your requirements and budget.

  • Bob129 on 19/09/2013 - 12:01

    Does this come with Windows installed? If so, what version?
    Is the optical drive blu-ray readable? How much to swap to a drive that is?

    • Roary on 19/09/2013 - 12:11

      No windows and no the DVD drive cannot read blu-ray.

    • haz on 19/09/2013 - 12:13

      how much to swap it to a Blu Ray writer?

  • Twisty on 19/09/2013 - 12:12

    Im looking at building a new PC, would this one be better then the one I was thinking of making -

    Case: Nanoxia Deep Silence 2
    CPU: i5 4570
    GPU: Powercolor 7950 or Palit 760
    HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001
    SSD: Samsung SSD 120GB
    RAM: G.Skill Ares F3-1866C9D-8GAB 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
    Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H87M-D3H
    OD: Pioneer DVR-220LBKS Black 24x DVDRW OEM
    PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 520W HCG-520

    I want it as a gamer come around PC

    • IsometricBacon on 19/09/2013 - 12:26

      You'd probably be better off with the one you were thinking of making, given this one does not come with a GPU, which will be a couple hundred more on-top. How much do you estimate for your rig?

      For a gaming PC, a i7 isn't really needed and adds to the cost quite significantly.

      • Twisty on 19/09/2013 - 12:30

        About $1100

        • Gbangerz on 19/09/2013 - 12:54

          I'd suggest ramping up the RAM to 2133, and finding a motherboard that supports it. I went with the Powercolor 7950 for the two DVI slots at the back, but so far no problems with it. I think both MWave and PCCG have specials on those cards right now.
          I agree, i7 isn't really necessary unless you plan on having a large amount of processes going at once. Actual processing speed is pretty much the same.

        • Twisty on 19/09/2013 - 13:06
          -1

          I was also thinking of just buying a iMac 27" but the price is looking too high but damn they are fast.

        • IsometricBacon on 19/09/2013 - 13:27

          Depends if you want it for gaming.

          Speaking of someone that has been out of the PC game for the past 7 or so years with an iMac and a Macbook Pro, I found trying to game on the things infuriatingly difficult.

          You can dual boot windows, but it's rather a hassle. You only have one HDD, and if it's a SSD you have next to no space half the time for games and windows installs. (Particularly if you're cheap like me and go for a smaller one).

          Then in a year or two the hardware is old, and you can't upgrade.

          I'm a multimedia developer, and the iMac/Macbook Pro are an incredible workhorse machines that I still use daily and I would heartily recommend them to anyone, but I wouldn't use it for a gaming machine.

          If you really want a Mac (and don't necessarily need crazy grunt), get one of the cheaper notebook/laptops, a separate 27" monitor, and build a budget desktop gaming PC. Then you can use the monitor for both, and still carry the mac around with you.

          I'd suggest not wasting money on 2133 RAM. You won't notice a difference at all compared to 1600mhz RAM.

          A 4770 i7 is a much better investment than overpriced 2133 RAM…

          You will notice a (positive) difference in most applications with the 4770 - you won't notice a thing with the RAM…

        • ItsMeAgro on 19/09/2013 - 17:21

          Actually, neither an i7 4770 nor 2133 ram would make any human-detectable difference in any application (maybe media encoding, but come on, the i5 is already quad-core, right? How many apps, even today benefit from more than 4 cores?)

        • GreatWhiteHunter on 19/09/2013 - 22:03

          You are possibly right the i5 has enough cores.

          My point is you are most often running multiple things in the background.

          For example playing BF3 I've got my anti virus going, plus Outlook, plus a web browser, plus Origin and Steam, plus battlelog voice. I might also have word, excel and/or powerpoint open.

          These use up CPU/memory resources - so the more/better ones you have, the less you'll notice the drag.

          The difference between 1600mhz and 2133mhz ram on most machines is imperceptible…

    Hard to believe this hasnt already gone up but for what it is worth, parts cost at MSY $991

    CPU: Intel Core i7 4770 349
    MB : Asus H87-Pro 132
    RAM: 16GB Kingston HyperX 1600MHZ 160
    SSD: Samsung 840 120G 99

    CASE: Coolermaster K350 Gamer Case with USB3.0 53
    PSU: Thermaltake Smart Power 550W 80+ Bronze 85
    TOTAL 991

    Pretty much exactly what I want. I already have a spare SSD lying around though from the recent trifecta deal…
