Answer 1

In general this is the start if a killer machine. The main problem will be that graphics card, which is not a model for gaming. It'd be great for AutoCAD, but terrible for modern shooters.



I don't see the CPU cooler listed, which might mean its the stock Intel one. For no more than $30 you could get a much better cooler. (anything from Arctic Cooling)



I do see a few places you could save a lot of money. That motherboard is beautiful, but super expensive for what it is. That CPU also ... you could get an LGA1156 version of the same Core i7 for cheaper, which would also make your RAM kit cheaper.



A lot depends on what your budget is. I'd be happy to make some suggestions .... Are you buying in Canada? If so tell me how much and I'll send you a price list.

Answer 2

That company is selling "Workstations" with workstation prices but using consumer parts. The only part you'd find on a certified workstation is the quadro card, which is on the very low end. They know gaming systems so they have just taken one and stuff in a pro card thinking that is what makes one so. It doesn't.



As for the cooling, that computer doesn't need anything more than a stock CPU fan and a 120mm case fan. You are paying for all the wrong features with such a system.



Look at their gaming systems maybe if you really want all those flashing lights, they supposedly have decent custoemr serivce, and at those prices probably can afford to, but their workstations should be ignored.

Answer 3

Okay well right off the bat...

I can build this pc for more then $1000 CHEAPER then that one using same exact cooling and every single part the exact same.

Do you think its worth it buying it from them?

Contact me If you need help looking for computers.

ALSO the card is not a gaming card you will barely be able to play a game on minimum.

It is meant just for workstations
