I prefer to build my own but I'm debating on buying this, I did some research and it seems like a good deal but if you guys can give me input and if this system also has potential for upgrades down the road. The price is 760.

PERFECT FOR SLI. With this top of the line Thermaltake 850 watt power supply, you can add up to 2 Geforce GTX 660 graphics cards for nearly double the graphic performance. Just add another GTX 660 Nvidia card and plug it in using the supplied SLI bridge adapter and power supply PCI-X connector. Comparable systems wit lower power supplies or that have video cards like the Gefore GTX 750ti aren't capable of running in SLI mode, but this system will!

Overclock with confidence!

This system can easily handle overclocking of the CPU up to a rock solid and stable 4.6ghz. Just tweak as you need and game away! Thorough testing was performed on this PC to ensure overclocker confidence. This system was tested at 4.0ghz overclock using Prime95 for 12 straight hours without failure.

Why not grab the 4690k? It's roughly the same price I believe and has a slightly higher clock speed. As for RAM you'll want 8GB, check out G.Skill Ripjaws X Series as they have good price/performance RAM. What's your budget overall? I'm sure we can find you a better build than the one listed.

Here's what Id change:
4670k -> 4690k
Patriot Viper 6gb -> G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB - DDR3 1866 or 2133 mhz
300gb hdd -> Seagate 1TB 7200rpm HDD ($15 more)

Once we find out your budget, we should be able to build a better system than that one listed that will hopefully accommodate a better GPU.
