I can tell this is a pre-built PC, so I can't suggest any specific alternatives because builders have terrible selection. Games hardly use Hyper-threading, so the i5 is a much better buy as you'll get about the same performance for a lot less. Sealed liquid coolers perform poorly compared to similarly-priced air coolers, but again, pre-builders have awful selection. 16GB of RAM is pointless for gaming and 550w is plenty for any current single-GPU card. The case looks like junk.

It's not a pre-built I chose all these with pc part picker just I didn't remember the full names of all the parts.

Also this pc isn't just for gaming, hence why I got an i7 and 16gb ram. It's also for visual studio coding, live streaming, graphics design, video editing and 3d design. I like the look of the case but that's just opinion.

Alright, I assumed it was just for gaming because that's all you mentioned. That's also typically how I see pre-builders lay their lists out. What's your budget and currency?

Currency GBP and budget 1000 pounds. I've been saving up a long time for this. 70% of the time I will be gaming so I would like to know if that setup will run games on high or max settings. I have already bought this but I want to know if it will run games smoothly.

No need for 16GB of RAM.
This is a pretty good build, with a lot of SSD space.

Yes, it's fast enough to play the next generation of games like Crysis 3 at playable FPS with high settings.

That is not a good build... At all.

It's an ok build but why on earth would you need that much ssd space if you already have a 2tb hdd. You are better off getting a 120gb ssd and the 2tb hdd and spending more on the cpu and gpu. Also I have 16gb of ram because I will also be doing rendering and a lot of gfx. That is also the reason I opted for an i7 over an i5.

Yes, this is really good, the i7 will help a lot too, I believe you could probably play on Ultra. The Gfx card is great to, 2 gbs of video ram is enough to run anything.
