Any reason AMD and not intel?

Also:
go for 80plus platinum if you can and prioritize reliability
price in an ssd, it's that important
bluray drive seems like a waste unless you are sure you will use it often
have you tested and compared "blue" switches compared to "red" and "brown" (I favor brown personally)

....

and I JUST realized this is a prebuilt and not a parts list lol. I'll do a value check this weekend if time.

but on first glance I'd say it's not a good value if you want performance/dollar. You are getting bluray and spiffy looking case instead of great performance. And no ssd means you gotta pay for that outta pocket.

[gsgen]

No I am going to get the ssd later i could have put it into this machine from the start but i realized for the price I was only getting a 1tb hard drive And i need more than that... So it was a choice between 1tb or 2 tb and the sdd....   And i can get a cheap SSD somewhere i am sure.  I was limited on what i could spend on this machine and needed something better than what i have.... And I have been using amd since my second computer and i like them better than intel, AMD  are and can be built more for gaming. Now why a AMD graphics care over nvidia well since I am going AMD wanted a AMD video card I know it is not like the old days were they worked better together. But I like the 8 core and not top line video card but it can handle what i need it to and remember I am use to playing games on low settings so. As for the power supply I should have but i wanted more that 750w.. The 800 should be fine to handle everything.... I could have dropped the blue ray for just dvd but I do watch a lot of blue rays and if all else fails I can use my computer to watch them on the main tv.  I know you guys are hard core computer builders but I did my research first and also this way i get a warrenty on the whole thing through one place...But if you can FIND SOMETHING BETTER AND CHEAPER LE T ME KNOW, IT DOES NOT SHIP UNTIL MARCH 10th......

[ZenPhire]

I'll see if I can find an amazing deal. But am I hearing that you don't want to build? Only prebuilt? I would highly recommend building. More serviceable, less downtime, better warantees, and better value. Also more upgradable.

[gsgen]

well to be fait the only thing this machine does not have that i wanted was the sdd drive.. And the mother board is upgradeable I can add. Unless you think the motherboard is not as upgradable as i think it is..

[ZenPhire]

OEM mobos are notoriously bad for upgrading. PSUs as well. Besides that processor is sub par I'd say and GPU as well if you consider the total system cost.

[gsgen]

Okay Placing my head in a hole in the ground and chanting," I love what i got I love what i got NAH NAH NAH" :>P... But if you knew what i had you would say WOW way better LOL by 100 fold

[omniconsumer]

Pre-fabricated systems are just notoriously sub-par in general.  You're even better off paying someone to put the parts together for you.

[gsgen]

True but i was able to pick and choose what i wanted to go into this machine it was not like you can choose from these two items and that  is it I had hundreds of items to choose from. But i wanted amd and amd video card so that limited me a little....

Oh ok, I thought it came as is.

And I have been using amd since my second computer and i like them better than intel, AMD  are and can be built more for gaming.

As long as you realize that intel is better for gaming, especially at the price you are at. Intel actually wins in pretty much every way (sad to say as I'm an AMD fan too). But as FromBehind has said this next generation to come from AMD soon (early 2017? maybe) could be a real gamechanger, so if you can, I would wait for that. Otherwise, if you gotta buy now, then I will stick by the recommendation of intel. Especially if you are prioritizing gaming. AMD favors integer focused multicore, and that is def not gaming (floating point, primarily single core bound). For an example, I've seen a $75 intel consistently beat a $175 AMD CPU in gaming. It's closer matched at the high end, true. But just know that you are sacrificing a lot of frames in games and putting that $70 you save going with AMD into things you don't need for gaming, like Bluray.

Of course if you need a decent quad core under $100 AMD wins (even though a dual core intel will still likely be faster). OR if you are not going to use a graphics card but want passable gaming graphics integrated, AMD is winning there with their APUs (albeit only barely as intel is catching up). AMD also are better overclockers many times, but that's for people pushing the clock speeds, performance isn't the metric there. And I still prefer AMD arch in some ways, they make some great server chips, and still have their niche in gaming. But if I were going to spend close to a grand (or more) on a gaming PC... no way would I chose AMD unless it was more a conscious choice to defy intel's obvious monopoly. And if that is your motivation (fight the monopoly by taking a hit in porformance and going with the underdog) then I applaud you! =)

(also as a side note take care not to fall for all the marketing it gets confusing, like AMDs many cores not actually full cores. You don't get 8 full cores, it's only a bit better than intel hyperthreading honestly. Personally I would count 4 cores when considering value.)

[ZenPhire]

That being said the processor you picked is nice, and you will get great performance out of games. But honestly, I would wait to see what the next gen AMD looks like (codename Zen). Honestly I DO think it will be a game-changer. I'm holding out myself, as I think my next build will be on Zen. =)

[gsgen]

Thank You and yes I refuse to buy in to intel in anyway and would gladly suffer some lower frame rates not to have to use one.... Celeron come on already bite me . And i do find that AMD is a cheaper alternative the same machine I built with a AMD is 300 to 500 more with an intel inside Price gouging BIOTCHES LOL......  As for the BLUYRAY  IT WAS FREE UPGRADE lol. I payed nothing extra for it at all got that instead of a DVDRW. So figured why not , not changing my price at all. And thnak you both for the response I appreciate it my machine still has not shipped so gives me something to think on.   LOL ZEN that blue ray has you raging, honestly it was free upgrade and I would save nothing not taking advantage of it.;

[omniconsumer]

Fact, AMD fail for years now.

Intel 4lyfe.

ROFLMAO that is why you changed your name from kuaui to zen i knew something was up........
