Well lets see how much you paid for it....

But the graphics card is weak...

 

[D_Hickey_99]

Around $1050 not including shipping and what not

 

[HeyyScott]

I think this is a waste of $1050. You could have built your own and have better and more parts matching to your needs. The GPU especially is terrible.

 

[D_Hickey_99]

-HeyyScott around $1050 not including shipping.

 

[vrumor]

That was a waste of $1050 not including shipping. Way overpowered CPU and WAY underpowered GPU. System is not balanced at all.

 

[rgd1101]

why get a z87 board, liquid cooling with a non-overclock 4770 (without the k)?
and yes, if you going to just run a 19" 1366x768 LG, why an i7?

 

[ldewitt]

I think this is a waste of $1050. You could have built your own and have better and more parts matching to your needs. The GPU especially is terrible.

I'd have to agree....you could of built a PC that could of ran bf4 on high with that amount of money.

 

[D_Hickey_99]

rgd1101 I have a 1920x1024 monitor 23" here already

 

[D_Hickey_99]

HeyyScott and Idewitt What would you change about it? I only just ordered it and am sure that I can still cancel before it goes through to my card.

 

[HeyyScott]

You should definitely try to get your money back. This PC is a mess. All clustered up parts and unbalanced.

 

[rgd1101]

rgd1101 I have a 1920x1024 monitor 23" here already

you getting a second monitor?
cause it said
Monitor(19" 1366x768 LG -- HD LCD Monitor)

then, just like the others said, the gpu is way underpowered.

 

[D_Hickey_99]

HeyyScott Will it like break on me or something for what I have in it?

 

[HeyyScott]

HeyyScott and Idewitt What would you change about it? I only just ordered it and am sure that I can still cancel before it goes through to my card.

What's the purpose of your PC going to be? Gaming? Editing? Work?

 

[D_Hickey_99]

rgd1101 Yes I am getting another monitor but it probably wont be for me. I have another pc in the house without a monitor. It was only 80$ or something like that.

 

[D_Hickey_99]

HeyyScott I do light gaming, not BF4 or anything. I also work with CAD programs and things like that. Autodesk and those types of programs.

 

[ldewitt]

For less confusion ill let HeyScott or rgd1101 give you suggestions.

 

[D_Hickey_99]

Okay thanks Idewitt for your help. Just one more question though since it wasn't answered, or atleast not clearly. This PC wont break on me or anything from what is in it will it? Besides being overpriced its ok as is?

 

[HeyyScott]

HeyyScott I do light gaming, not BF4 or anything. I also work with CAD programs and things like that. Autodesk and those types of programs.

Well if you are planning to do 3D/designing tasks and such, the i7 is fine because it will be able to handle the multi-tasking but it's pointless to have a Z87 mobo when the CPU is a i7-4770 non-k version. You can not overclock a non-k version, while the z87 mobo is for overclocking. Also, you should try to have at least 16GB of ram for the types of tasks you are planning to do. Although you are planning to do light amount of gaming, the GT 640 is out-dated and weak. I personally don't think it's worth the $100. It also seems like they wasted money on bunch of little accessory parts that are not a priority. It will be easier if I knew the price of all these parts.

 

[13thmonkey]

drop the i7 to an i5k, ditch the water cooling, spend that money on a gpu, all very unbalanced right now

 

[rgd1101]

ok. for CAD and light gaming, it ok. As long as you are not looking for ultra detail on gaming. Still wasted money on liquid cool and z87 broad for your non-overclockable i7.

 

[D_Hickey_99]

I can try to figure out the prices. I ordered it from iBuyPower after my older brother (who is in college atm, not that it matters) showed it to me. Is their stuff overpriced most of the time? And I also have a GTX 760 from my brother that I think I can put in the pc.

 

[HeyyScott]

OP, I suggest you to cancel your order and save that $1050. Build your own pc, it's not hard and allows you to have better parts for your needs and not waste money. Just ask the forum for pc builds!

 

[D_Hickey_99]

Okay! Thanks for all your help everyone! And thanks to you Scott! Ill cancel the order and get started on putting a pc together I guess. But if I had to keep it, would replacing the GPU with a GTX 760 make any more of a difference?

Yes, that is a improvement but it's also because a lot of money is wasted on some of these parts. Unnecessary parts are inserted everywhere. You could maximize your $1050 with better parts if you personally pick and build.
