Well, for starters there is no GPU. Otherwise it is great!

What are you up to with this computer?
They are quite fast indeed, but aren't the actually the latest tech. They are, however, nearly the best you can have without paying unreasonable prices.

 

[BRADLEYI]

Oh sorry left that out because I still have my previous one, its a GeForce GTX 550Ti 2GB 192-bit GDDR5

Is this card going to work well enough?

Will the case COOLERMASTER CASE-ATX, NO PSU-STORM be adequite for cooling?

I think you're fine about cooling.
The issue here is that if you're aiming gaming, than your set up is a bit unbalanced. Too much CPU power for a so-so GPU.

If you're willing to use CPU intensive tasks on it, than it's perfectly fine.

 

[BRADLEYI]

I need it for general business home office, movies, 1st person gaming, etc...

What GPU would you recommend?

Then I think you could save your money in here. You won't see much difference using cheap Core i5 instead of this Core i7 which currently is Intel's flagship in none of the activities you said.

In fact, you should buy a stronger GPU. It will vastly improve your gaming experience.

What GPU would you recommend?

How much can you spend on one?
