| Is this computer any good?
Just in the market for a new computer.
Just for home use and a few games here and there.
Is this computer decent and relatively quick enough to play games and such?
Thanks in advance. http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...facture=NCIXPC

I bought a whole setup from NCIX but saved at least another 15+% off the original total.
Use www.shopbot.ca and/or www.pricebat.ca
You'll have to buy the part seperately.
Certain items that sold for $30 costed me under $6.00. Things like sata cables and stuff are like half the NCIX selling price.

apart from the case, cpu, and graphics card everything else is weak
if you want to oc that 920 you gonna need better mobo, ram, and after-market cooler
just buy it the parts separately and you can build much faster system with 1350

I wouldn't really recommend this case. I have it, it's not baaaad. But it sucks up ALOTTTT of dust. We're talking your CPU will have a pretty thick layer of dust build up. I dust mine every couple days, but vacuum it almost every week.
There's nodust filters or mesh. The Nine Hundred V2 has them.

Just a quick question, wouldn't overlocking a cpu, have an effect on the other parts dying quicker overall?
I never intended to overclock anything.

I never intended to overclock anything. | I'm new at OC too.. my friend helped me OC my old AMD Athalon 64 3200+ Venice CPU. I had this computer for 3ish years and no issues with parts dying. 2GHZ to 2.5GHZ stable. I'm running my system almost 24/7 with only air cooling.
My setup:
Asus A8N SLI Premium mobo
3200+ Venice CPU
G-Skill 2 X 512MB ram
Thermalright XP-120 CPU Heatsink
FSP 500W PSU
BGF 6600GT Vid Card

OCing is not needed for any new computer, it's only for bragging rights. No amount of OCing will help save an outdated rig.

no need to bash lower end parts because it doesnt suit your high end needs, he doesn't need to spend more than he has to.

Well i've placed an order for this computer. Thanks everyone for their opinions and suggestions.
I just hope it'll be decent enough to play games such as starcraft 2 when it actually does come out.
