it all looks good but instead of buying a single 8gb ram stick buy 2 4gb sticks so you can use dual channel capability and windows 8 is terrible compared to windows 7 in my opinion

Ahh, the problem with a new build though, is im buying this off a guy that makes computers for people and his customer had him build this and then couldnt afford it, so hes trying to sell it and make atleast some of his money back and save me some money, the computer isnt used at all and doesnt seem overpriced so I wanted to know if it were worth buying and what it could run

in that case you would be getting a pretty good deal i would buy it and then buy another 8gb stick to put in it with that build you should be able to run everything on ultra with good frame rates
