Answer 1

I would consider a better power supply. While 500W is enough, the one you have is a dual +12V rail design, not a good choice if you plan on upgrading the video card later. Multi-rail +12V PSu require you, the user, to properly balance the +12V loads in your system. Not an easy thing to do.

Get a good name brand PSU, 550W to 650W that has a single +12V rail design. That leaves room for future updates without replacing the PSU...

Otherwise, good gaming machine.

Answer 2

Looks decent, you could spend less building the computer yourself, but it all depends on what you are comfortable with. The main concern I have with the build is the power supply. You should be running that on a 1000w platinum or gold rated supply, power supplies work best running at 50-60%. I would be happy to go over this with you more if you want.

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

never buy a prebuilt computer. you will be paying too much. to get the most out of your money buy the parts yourself and build the computer. its not hard and quite fun actually.if your budget is $700 consider buying these parts here. this build has a much better graphics card and everything else is the same

Answer 5

ehm.. you should buy another GPU.. you can oveclock a 960 as hell, but the problem is with the memory, 2 GB of GDDR5, not enough to run most games on ultra setting on 1080p nowadays
