Hello there, can someone with some knowledge with computers verify that this gaming pc is
good and if not what should i change? (within $1000) excluding $250 for the mouse and keyboard also as I was previously on a PS3 is there anyway of adapting a Tritton 720+ (7.1 surround sound) headset to pc? thanks

Dont get a rosewill powersupply. Only get antec xfx seasonic or corsair. You dont wanna spend that much and fry all your components from a bad powersupply

The build is good, you could get a little more money efficient, but it at least has quality parts. The rosewill HIVE isn't a bad PSU. Yes antec, xfx, seasonic and corsair are the go to, but they aren't the only ones that know how to build a PSU. There are plenty of good models by other makes, but you gotta know which ones to look for.

If this was a low budget build that psu would be fine but for 1300$ He might aswell get a for sure high quality brand psu. You will never see a reputable system builder use a rosewill psu with high quality components

Your graphics card is weak relative to the cpu.
I would save $100 and buy a simple cm hyper air cooler, and apply the rest to a GTX770 graphics card. You will game better.

There's really nothing wrong with that Rosewill, but this Antec is better for the same price.





Personally I would never spend over $200 for a mouse and keyboard. You could get even better core parts if you weren't spending so much here. But the above build would be awesome anyway.
