I have asked this question previously, but I have updated the pc a bit since. I have changed the power supply to 580 watts, and added 3 extra case fans. It comes to $782 before shipping, so I would like to know once again is this a good buy?

You definitely buy this computer I went over the details you put out and seems like a good buy. If I were you I would certainly buy it. If you look around you wont find a good computer like that for that kind of price. Most computers are usually in the thousands. So buy that computer!

Hope I helped.

Hello again,

Not bad. If your mother board can support 3 graphics card then that's great for future upgrades. However, your PSU may still be too low. Do your self a favor and go for a 800 Watt PSU--most likely you will be adding another graphics card in the future and will need the extra power.

I hope this information was useful for you. Best answer, please!

Yeah that's a nice setup for a standard computer, however it would help if we knew what you want it for mainly, Internet browsing? Gaming?
