It's a very nice PC but for $1899 you could do a lot better by building it yourself.

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin...
It will certainly last through the 2015. It is a good graphic card and you should have enough memory (tho 16 GB might be great). I believe that with this configuration you could easily play all games in the following year.
 
I wouldnt recommend getting the i5 with the nzxt x61. If you are going to be livestraming and multitasking you will benefit from the i7-4790k, and if you want to oc, get the cm hyper 212.
The gpu is great, and maybe you could change the psu.
 

I would like to atleast get to ultra, and high!
 
Iv made my own build originally based of a PCCG build (because im from australia) you can mix and match and swop parts out add a gpu if you want for SLI imo its a very powerful build but very costly.

This one is the same pretty much. You're paying an extra $400 by getting it prebuilt.
 
Solution


Well I could built it, though I just won't a pre-built system.
I would just like to get it straight out of the box to play!
Although in the future, i will defiently learn how to build my own, upgrade purpaces.
But most defiantly I will keep that build in mind!
 
I agree with the other guys build it your self and save a few bucks. It really only takes an hour or 2 at best to put everything together and you would have the satisfaction of knowing you did it your self and not paying someone to do what you could do your self. Also there are several guides on youtube on how to put everything together. That being said those are not a bad set of components for the most part.
 
Maybe you wont save much money. But you will have quality components in your system. And that is if you need the os, if you already have it, then you will be saving money.
