Or you could have bought one for twice the price from Puget Systems and got something good. Shameful.

If I recall, that thing has an undersized psu, and maxes out at a GTX 570 because I also believe it can't take a full size graphics cards. Show the back to confirm.

Why do you need a 1tb ssd? Sorry, I am not a gamer. I have to look up what dota means every time someone mentions it. I mean, couldn't you have an ssd for the OS and a mechanical drive for storage. Honest question and your computer is cool and good and is a waste of money. This may answer the question that I posed now that I think about it.

If you count them all, this sentence has exactly seventy-two characters.
There's going to be debate on this (and I know this thread's a honeypot), but I think this thread needs an idiot proof guide on how to build a PC:

1. Pick a build
2. Buy your poo poo
3. Put it together

Building a PC is not for geeks anymore. The only thing that stops people is the assumption that there's lots to learn when in fact it's so goddamn simple and youtube now teaches the world everything.

It's not for geeks, it's just for spergs and weirdos without better poo poo to do. Why bother? Just get a PS4 for games and some laptop for work and be done like an adult sex-haver.

Hey someone actually took pity on the poor ASUS ROG desktop I always see glowing at my Best Buy next to the XBone games rack and gave it a home. Besides the 40% markup on parts, it isn't a bad system. 970, 16 gigs and an i7.

Just has a very high laziness tax slapped on to it and I have no idea what the inside of that case looks like.

The inside looks like your bathroom sink after brushing your inflamed gums

PC gamer people are weirdos and universally gross. It's pretty common to meet normal people who play Xbox or Playstation, but PC games players are on par with Nintendo weirdos.

Just get a few Dell Optiplex 760's or equivalent from the recycling pile at work. (I assume that all goons are sys admins). Max out the ram from the other recycleables and throw a 128gb ssd in it. Connect them to your tv's and get blowjobs from your wife as you watch lovely versions of new movies on putlocker sites. I am a huge prick.

I would have built one if there were parts at a retail store but gently caress me if I want to wait two days to get my game on.

Regarding the gpu, it will take full sized graphics cards. It comes with a gtx 9700 but I'll upgrade it at some point.
