Hi guys, was offered by TradePac $1329 for this bulit. Is it worth it? :o Mainly use for gaming e.g. Dota 2, Warframe, and maybe some homework, non-graphic editing related. How would it perform if I intend to play graphic intensive game in the future? Thankss :o And is it easy, if i intend to upgrade the SSD in the future? Many thanks, much appreciated~

Hmmm...........

Intel Core i5-4690 +MSI B85M-G43 (376)
Leadtek GTX 760 (359)
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3-1600 (4GB x 2) (112)
SSD Crucial MX100 128GB (105)
WD Blue 1TB (67)
Superflower HX600 600w Gold Modular (108)
Cooler Master Hyper 212x CPU cooler (57)
Wins 7 Home Premium OEM (120)
Samsung DVD Writer (21)
GameMax x12 9606 Casing (About 80+, assume 90 as worst case scenario)

Total Cost: $1415

Comments:

1) It shall be assumed that the MSI B85M-G43 is offered as part of the build.

2) Looks OK, but the GPU component is relatively underpowered for the price that you are paying. The GTX 760 will be able to play top end AAA games at Medium-High at best. Can still play DOTA 2 and Warframe at max settings easily. CPU cooler is unnecessary though.

3) What software are you using for your homework?

4) A SSD upgrade is easy, plug in the new SSD into the rig, clone the contents of your old SSD into the new SSD, boot into new SSD and thats it.

5) Might want to wait for royfrosty to give his opinion, he shops at Tradepac often.
