    +1 for using a great power supply :)
    SilverStone ST50F-ES 500W is nice with 80 PLUS efficiency certification saving power usage in the long run.

          Very common practice, after they build and test it, they power down, throw all the manuals and stuff neatly inside the case, usually in the empty bays or something as there is usally plenty of room and then ship it off. Its easier then have it floating around outside the case and saves on room. When you recieve it you take it out of the case and fire it up.

      Doubtful about the graphics setting for the games of "these days"

      • twocsies on 31/07/2014 - 18:43
        +1

        Easy to check. The CPU will not be the bottleneck, but the GPU. The GTX660 is fairly modern. This computer will destroy any console in terms of graphics quality. It will run almost any new game at a little under 60 fps, which is the typical monitor refresh rate. Thus you would probably do better to use a setting slightly below Ultra for some games, while other games would be okay at Ultra.

      Compared to the generics that are usually supplied the SilverStone is a big step up.

      • X35rgfF45 on 31/07/2014 - 14:43

        Yep, seasonics are the victim of a pretty large australia tax so it wouldn't make sense for such a low price system.

        Silverstone is pretty reputable as far as PSU's go, and actually has pretty reasonable regional pricing, for a budget build it makes perfect sense.

  • Ughhh on 31/07/2014 - 10:58

    will this handle most recent games well? Not expecting the best of the best

    • jatcave on 31/07/2014 - 11:24
      +4

      No, not well. Will play ok. If you're not expecting the best, that's what you're getting. GPU is very old tech (in a gaming timeline). At least the processor is current. As stated previously, premium really shouldn't be used to describe this system.

    • Prickle from Gumby on 31/07/2014 - 13:51

      As has been previously stated here, "premium" is highly subjective; but this system should play most current generation games reasonably well. It's not on the high-end of the market but it's certainly good value for money.

    • UFO on 31/07/2014 - 23:56

      @JLove

      For a $700 PC, it'll handle games better than anything you could build yourself for the money.

      Will it handle them "well", I believe the answer is yes… even though "well" is subjective.
      A $3k gaming rig will handle games "well" too… depending on who you speak to and what they are used to.

      But my thinking is this… You're here asking is this $700 pc will play games, so it would be fair to assume you have never had experience with a proper gaming pc (nor have any desire to spend that amount of money ever on a pc). In which case- buy this system! It will be the best gaming pc you've ever owned. Not being sarcastic either. I think you'll be more than happy with this pc mate.

      Good value and good performance for the price.

      Just dont expect you'll impress the geeks down the road (or further down this thread) with frame rates and overclocking stats. You'll be happy, and thats what counts.

  • UnciasDream on 31/07/2014 - 10:58

    This isn't exactly a premium gaming system. Case and power supply ok. No idea why they are using a basic "business" grade micro ATX motherboard and single channel memory (1 x 8gb). After video card installed only leaves a single PCI Express x1 bus interface and single memory slot for expansion.

    • AngryMan on 31/07/2014 - 11:21

      It's premium compared to the budget gaming systems usually posted on here.

    • bentan77 on 31/07/2014 - 11:34
      +5

      using a basic "business" grade micro ATX

      B85, B75, B series are just the standard "no frills" chipset. Unless you need something specific like more USB ports, crossfire/sli support, overclocking, RAID etc. then there's not much point in getting anything other than the basic chipsets.

      single channel memory (1 x 8gb

      For a board like that I would actually prefer a single stick, that way you can add more next time since it only has 2 slots plus there's usually no real difference in performance for single vs dual channel RAM unless you're playing games with onboard video

    • caitsith01 on 31/07/2014 - 13:20
      +4

      Memory speed/motherboard have never been the bottlenecks in gaming systems, despite what companies that make them suggest.

      However, this is a mid range CPU/GPU combination (which is what actually matters). Not what I'd call premium, but definitely a decent set up for that price.

      I think people should look at it like this - you get something that absolutely smashes a PS4/X-Box One for not much more than one of those costs.

      • ThadtheChad on 07/08/2014 - 11:28

        I'd call it an "entry-level" gaming system. The GPU would qualify it as such.

    Prices from Static Ice

    CPU: Intel i5 4590 - $199
    MB: Asus B85M-F - $79
    RAM: 8GB Samsung 1600MHz - $85
    HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM - $62
    GPU: Gigabyte GTX660 OC - $222
    PSU: SilverStone ST50F-ES 500W - $57
    Case: Coolermaster K350 Gamer USB3.0 - $53

    Total: $757

    This is the price without:
    Optical drive
    Windows (could get linux, but then gaming would be harder)
    Labour costs to put it together (most places charge $50-$100)

    If you want a something that will run most modern games on medium/high, this is a good purchase.

    You're better off going to whirlpool and building something which will last for $600 more.

    EDIT: Might as well go all out.

    From the whirlpool recommended PC list http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/rmp_sg_whirlpoolpcs_gaming_conf…

    CPU: AMD FX-6300 $133
    Mobo: ASRock 970-PRO3 R2.0 $87
    RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) Patriot-S DDR3-1600 $87
    HDD: Western Digital WD Blue 1TB $63
    GPU: Gigabyte 2GB AMD Radeon R9 270 $198
    Case: Coolermaster N400 $59
    PSU: Antec Neo Eco 450C Bronze $71
    ODD: DVD-RW Drive $20
    CPU Heatsink: Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO $37

    Total: 755

    The GPUs are quite similar: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-270-vs-GeForce-GTX-660
    The original CPU wins out of the two: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4590-vs-AMD-FX-6300
    However when OC'ing, the AMD will win.

      Nice comparison but your $56 over budget ($86 if you count the reward points). AMD chips suck at single core performance which is what most games past and present require. Your "better off" PSU is 50 watts under too.

      Not to mention the 12 month warranty this deal provides, gee this is an underestimated necessity!

      And just to clarify gaming on Linux is not "harder" it nonexistent for the large majority of current gen games out there!

        The wattage difference means absolutely nothing when comparing these two PSUs. What is important is the max amps available on the 12v rail and in this regard the antec neo eco 450 is the same as the silverstone 500 (34A).

        If you removed the ODD (like I did in the original) would only be $36 ;)

        usually when buying the parts they come with 1-2 years warranty themselves.

    Looks good, but would be nice to have a $220 512 GB ssd instead of the GPU.

    The case also looks fairly normal, except I know that Coolermaster bundle the loud Sickleflow fans with their cases. If you connect it up using a molex connector without a fan controller. It will sound like a lawnmower. However, this is easily remedied by connecting to the motherboard usually using a longer extension cord.

    I recently build a similar model except I put in an SSD instead of the GPU and used an Antec Neo Eco PSU (Cheaper than Seasonic and manufactured by them).

    Oh and I realised the case above is missing 2.5 inch bays, but can be solved with a bracket. It also cannot fit larger coolers such as the Coolermaster Hyper Evo 212. You will have to opt for a low profile fan once the other one gets noisy (and it will over time, but by then you might be ready for a new computer).

    Overall, it is a good starter build which leaves some room for upgrades into the future.
