Was going to get this bad boy, I understand the GPU isn't amazing, well it's rubbish. So I'm going to be replacing it with a 660 or 770 so will it be ok?

Thank

I suggest not getting a Pre-Built PC and to build it yourself. So I made a build that would last you long and I also added an upgradable build PSU so that you can get dual SLI or that 770.

You would also need to replace the PSU. That one is complete junk and isn't even 80+ rated.

Looks great, but I would change the PSU. The CX units from Corsair are average at very best.

Like an XFX PSU or an EVGA?

I strongly prefer XFX, yes. Their 550w unit is actually just a Seasonic with an XFX sticker on it. It is a VERY high end unit for the money. Many times better than the CX line.

Thanks everyone one for helping

Agian the GPU is rubbish but on my bday I will get a 780 or 660 or two 650

Also would this be ok for minecraft and some battlefield and a little dayZ? On a Samsung HD tv @60ghz

ALSO I don't build any pcs after my last time when I broke nearly everything

 

[tiny voices]

For DayZ, expect lowest possible settings. It might be a bit rough even at lowest settings.

For BF4 you might get low. It will be rough

Minecraft will run easily at high.

Don't forget you have to replace the PSU as well as the included one is trash.

Stick with Antec, XFX, Seasonic.

But I will have a 660

It is better, but you still might have to replace the PSU to put the 660 in there depending.

The CPU is very poor

It will bottleneck the 780. This guy likely had an fx8350 in there and just bought a cheap 6100 to throw in there to sell the system with and kept the 8350.

If you buy this, you will need to get an fx8320 or 8350 to be able to take advantage of the gtx780. Otherwise it is a very powerful system.

I'll proberly get a new cup on Christmas, also it's not a 780 it's a 660 or 770. Thanks

With a 660, the 6100 would be fine until you upgrade it.

Also, make sure you know there is a BIG performance difference between the 660 and 770. The 770 is also 2x as expensive as the 660 is.
