What do you think of it? It's not made to be the best. It's for gaming, and it's for running most games.

It's a good balanced build. Never heard of that PSU before, though.

ditch the SSD and move up the GPU if you really want to game 6950 1GB

Spent Shells a 6870(especially with a little overclock on the 2500k and the 6870) will usually pull 60fps on high settings in most games (there are exceptions). Also inferring that this machine is already built "ditching the ssd" now doesnt seem to be a good idea. ThatIsOffensive, nice build. Like I said if you are not getting the framespersecond you want at the settings you want try overclocking the 2500k(if you have aftermarket cooling, which I dont see listed). If you dont have a aftermarket cpu cooler that would be my only suggestion. I recommend the CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ as it is cheap, effective, and usually allows a 4.5Ghz clock speed. Also it seems you have sufficient resources to add another 6870 in crossfire down the road. Anyways nice build and I hope you enjoy it.

I see your point, but when I see built I didn't think it was purchased or assembled ,but built as in chose the parts. it doesn't say purchased or assembled anywhere.
When someone asks for input you can provide it just as you and I did based on the information available filling in the blanks with assumptions. yes yes ass of u and me
