What do you guys think about this PC on digitalstorms? Needs anything?

[Renox-1361535]

Specs:
- NVIDIA GTX 760 2GB
- Intel Core i5 4570 CPU
- 8GB 1600MHz Memory
- CM Hyper 212 EVO Cooling
- 1TB 7200RPM HDD
- ASUS Z87 Chipset Motherboard
- 600W Corsair CX Power Supply
- DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW
- Microsoft Windows 7

Price: 1,059 without tax

I might want to add another 760 in the future so does the mother handle that? Other then that does this over heat for maybe 5-6 hours of gaming?

You have a multiplier-locked CPU with a motherboard and cooler for overclocking. Do you not know how to assemble a computer for yourself? Also these forums are international. You need to specify your currency.

Oops sorry its in dollors, also I didn't really get what you said, can you say it like ur talking to someone who hasn't opened a PC ever

OK your CPU is clock locked so that you can barely overclock it at all. People only buy a cooler if they want to overclock (provided you're not buying an OEM CPU you'll get a cooler in the box with it included free). And your motherboard is an overclocking-enabled chipset, which will cost more. To be honest I'd stick with a Z87 board regardless because prices aren't that different, but the cooler is a waste of money if you don't overclock.

So if you want to overclock, get an i5 4670K (which is unlocked) and use that cooler. If you don't, stick with the i5 4570 and just use the stock cooler that comes with it. The stock cooler performs very well when not overclocking (obviously Intel don't want people's CPUs overheating and then having to replace them under warranty).

But the thing is they don't let you change the CPU, and I really like this setup with this price it's almost like you made it yourself. Lets say i don't overclock the CPU, what do I miss out on?? Also can I add a 760 in the future so I can have 2?

Also Sam, if you wanna deeper look at the case go in here if it helps.

Why not buy the components and actually assemble it yourself? Overclocking doesn't really matter except that with the cooler and motherboard, you're actually paying for the ability to overclock and then not being able to use that ability.

And you can't add a second GTX760. A second slot is there but unfortunately SLI isn't supported.

i think adding an extra 760 with 600w would be a little risky, it might mean that you're always using near 100% of the PSU, meaning your efficiency could be out the window.

Wait wasn't Ti for 2 cards? Why sli? Can I maybe add a 670 then?

That's not a problem, I can always change the power source.

yeah. true, but that doesnt fix the fact that it seems that motherboard doesnt support SLI.

 

[Rhavi Marques]

building your own would allow you to do all these things you want, probably for cheaper... and its real easy, you should look into it, newegg has a how-to-build a pc in 4x30 minute videos on youtube, very easy.

If a second slot is there, whats holding back sli?

 

[mackyisback]

Manufacturer not putting in the support for it.

it just has to be supported, i think its the chipset that supports/not support it. check the motherboard specs, it apperantly supports crossfire.

pre-built PC's will always skip out on something, they have to get paid afterall, i guess this one in particular is the motherboard.
