      I'd say the majority of people don't need a BluRay burner. I certainly don't.

        If you need an internal blu-ray burner, get the new Pioneer bdr-209dbk from msy. It costs only $78.

          What would you burn a blu-ray for? anything that can play blu-rays will almost certainly have a USB port which is far more friendly and durable.

      no one wants that. heck i dont even have DVD/CD

  • lucksmith on 10/01/2014 - 12:02

    Probably would be better to replace the i7 with an i5 and use that money towards a 280 or 280x.

    • Roary on 10/01/2014 - 12:47

      or drop the RAM.. u dont need/use 16GB for games

      • ItsMeAgro on 10/01/2014 - 12:56

        This is perfectly correct.

        We might see some creative ways to use up to 8GB ram now that consoles have up to 8, but games won't see any benefit from 16 anytime soon.

        • ProjectZero on 10/01/2014 - 13:40

          Actually at least 1 new gen game recommends i7… watch dog min requirements need Core 2 Quad and recommended an i7 3770

        • ItsMeAgro on 10/01/2014 - 14:57

          I think they often do that, doesn't mean much.

          I wonder how much Intel pays them to recommend an i7…

  • kulprit on 10/01/2014 - 12:03

    Again, not commenting on price. But dropping to an i5, down to 8gig of ram, upping the SSD to 256Gig (or 240 if samsung) and maybe one level up in GPU would be a better buy. Also, who burns anything onto Blu-ray?

      • CarbonTwelve on 10/01/2014 - 12:27

        You probably shouldn't be bragging and laughing about that on forums.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2014 - 12:52

      I've got a friend looking to buy right away, if these adjustments were made you would have the money today!

      it wouldnt be so hard would it but they keep doing this unorthodox componant combinations for some reason.

        Gotta get rid of stock that isn't selling by bundling it all together

          well then i wont be recommending it to friends, since i know a lot of people want pre-built. The company that does this should ask the community for what would be most reasonable system for the price.

          Look at my comment down below, all it takes is a little research and choosing your own components isn't that scary

        • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2014 - 13:59

          It's cheaper because they're getting rid of stock. Either you like the deal and you buy it you pay retail… If you want to pay retail just do it.

      • ItsMeAgro on 10/01/2014 - 15:06

        Part of it is because of uninformed consumers. The i7, 16GB RAM and 4GB of VRAM are obviously aimed at people who think higher numbers = better and don't realise these don't actually help performance much.

        I often hear people asking for the cheapest i7 laptop or the video card with the "most gigs".

        Honestly it's partly the manufacturers' fault for having confusing naming schemes. Most of us are used to it, but the fact that the fastest i3 can be faster than a slow i7 in many programs is super confusing for people who just want to buy a PC so their kid can play some games and do their homework.

    As per the other comments, an i7 isn't necessary for gaming, neither is 16GB RAM, the 270x is under powered for a $1300 gaming build, and 4GB VRAM is pointless without a decent GPU to make use of it. If you could drop the other parts down (i5 and 8GB RAM) and up the GPU to a 280x or even better an R9 290 (with third party cooling) then it'd be much better.

    • humdingaling on 10/01/2014 - 12:26

      agree
      4gb on the 270x is pointless

      based on this sites video cards
      for the price of the 4gb 270x would rather just get the 2gb GTX760

  • hoftos on 10/01/2014 - 13:03

    Built my computer for around the same price by choosing my own parts individually.
    With an i5 4570, h87 mobo, antec hcg 620w PSU, 8gb ram, r9 280x, 2tb HDD, 120gb evo, and an expensive nzxt case maonly for looks. Would still outperform this by a lot in terms of a gaming pc, and for the same price.

    Edit: used umarts free installation to build it, saved time and/or $100 on the assembly fee

    • lostn on 10/01/2014 - 13:57

      Did all your parts come from umart?

      • humdingaling on 10/01/2014 - 17:47

        would imagine so for them to assembly for free

        maybe except the vdo card because the onboard could of been used

  • dsieders on 10/01/2014 - 13:12

    Specs say i5.. OP is it i5 or i7?

    • hollykryten on 10/01/2014 - 13:17

      I think it must be a typo in the specs saying i5. It should be saying i7 instead.

      • masterreset on 10/01/2014 - 13:18

        yea. 4771 is an i7 processor.

  • hollykryten on 10/01/2014 - 13:22

    What's with it saying that manuals, CDs, spare cables and parts will be shipped inside the case?. Why would you want your brand new built PC shipped with the user manuals, spare parts and cables shoved inside the case for?. It's not your job to have to open up the case from a brand new built PC just to get your user manuals and stuff that should be shipped outside of the case. Couldn't that stuff cause any damage inside the PC during transportation if it's shipped that way.

    "For delivery orders, spare boxes will not be shipped. Manuals/CDs and spare parts/cables will be shipped inside the case."

    • lostn on 10/01/2014 - 13:58

      I remember they used to (perhaps still do?) put a warranty sticker on the case door, where if you break that sticker you lose any labour warranty with them. Looks like you can't avoid doing that now.

      • hollykryten on 10/01/2014 - 14:43

        Dodgy if that's still the case expecting the customer not to open up the case or lose warranty and then shoving the user manual, CDs and spare cables/parts inside of the case so the only way the customer can get those is by opening up the case thus voiding the labour warranty according to the sticker. That's if they're still putting that warranty sticker on the case.

    • ItsMeAgro on 10/01/2014 - 14:55

      Obviously they mean inside the box, not the metal computer case.

      • hollykryten on 10/01/2014 - 14:57
        +2

        It's kind of confusing because it specifically states inside the case.

  • fchis on 10/01/2014 - 14:33

    it looks like the latest 3D printer.

    Can the Rep able to please do some budget gaming PC deals include OS? All i want is turn it on, install games and play straight on

    • ItsMeAgro on 10/01/2014 - 16:20

      "Budget" and "includes OS" don't play well together.

      Big companies like Dell do deals with MS to get windows for a few dollars per machine, but small shops like this have to add $50-$100 to the price for it.

      Many budget places leave it off as many of their customers are students who are eligible to get cheap or free copies of Windows through their schools.

      If you're not a student, and you don't mind installing yourself, you can just buy it at officeworks or something.

      Otherwise if you can't be bothered putting a windows disc in and hitting "next" a couple of times, you may have to pay the extra few hundred $$$ and buy a brand name desktop.

        under 1k comes with win 7
        NO SSD isnt the end of the world for gamer but would be nice

        gtx660 is still decent for todays games
        though i would of liked to see a 660ti

        maybe ask them to swap 660 out for something more beefy like R9 270

        oh also…no monitor but most builds dont bundle monitor these days

      • scrimshaw on 10/01/2014 - 18:41

        All i want is turn it on, install games and play straight on

        Steam OS — for those that are brave enough to use a linux based (but Steam powered) operating system. It's currently in Beta so expect some bugs.

        http://store.steampowered.com/steamos/buildyourown

        Actually, what shops should do is probably package Steam OS into their desktops, and preinstall it as a service when Steam comes out of Beta.

  • reidy on 10/01/2014 - 16:24

    It seems CPL has a bad reputation regarding warranty claims. I would do your research before deciding whether to spend your hard earned.

    • Roary on 10/01/2014 - 17:53

      I think that was 1 isolated incident which was sorted. I am sure most retailers have had a horror story with warranty.
      Do you have any statistics/links to back your claims?

      • reidy on 11/01/2014 - 10:08

        Just visit other forums and you'll find all the horror stories you need.

        • CarbonTwelve on 11/01/2014 - 12:03

          Same could be said for any store. CPL really aren't that bad.

      • lostn on 11/01/2014 - 14:32

        Do a forum search on WP for CPL. I think you'll find it's more than one user.

        That said, I haven't had problems with them myself.

        • [Deactivated] on 04/02/2014 - 17:43

          I think what people are saying is that a company that sells 10000 computers and has 100 complaints is no better or worse than a company that sells 100 computers and has 1 complaint.
