    If 1080p gaming is all you need it's serviceable.

    Be more worried that you can't upgrade because of the PSU. Dell generally uses custom PSU.

    Not sure about now though.

      If it's powering a 960 you can at least be assured of upgradability to cards with equal or lower TDPs as the 960 like a 1060 though if you're getting this with the intention of customizing it you're wasting your money.
      It's way too expensive for people who are comfortable installing GPUs, it's really only a deal for someone who's afraid of even opening their computer.

      Last DELL desktop I bought uses standard PSU, no problem in upgrading. This is minus removing cords, etc. This would be very different if you are trying to put in a specific PSU that you wanted. Just have to flexible on the brand and size of the PSU..

    It's no 1060 but it won't have any issues running most games high settings 1080p.

  You could build something cheaper with a GTX 1060 and the newer i7 7700 better power supply for $1462 delivered using parts from this ebay sale only.

  just get a cheap windows key from kinguin or something and your set even buying one for fullp[rice matches this deals price and gets your a better build.

  For that price, $1559, I think you would expect alot more than that for a gaming PC. The GTX 960 isn't particularly powerful. See perfomance comparison in link with GTX 1070 gaming PC for $1499 (as an example only,first result on staticice.com.au).

  http://www.budgetpc.com.au/computers-servers/budget-pc-custo…

  http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_geforce_gtx_1070_ga…

  In the game Rise of the Tomb Raider @ 1080p, the 960 get 31 fps whereas the 1070 clocks in at 131 fps! Even at 4K res the 1070 does 39 fps which is still more.

  Sure this may not include an OS, but you can be assured that there's something in between that can offer better value and performance for the price and still includes Windows and warranty.

    Hrmm… the specs you posted is a lessor CPU, 1/2 the memory, less storage (both SSD and HDD) but with a powerful graphics card….. Graphics card is not the be all and end all, the computer still need decent cpu, memory and hard drive.

    No expert here, but I would go with DELL if I dont know about computer and dont want to open the case. Its relatively easy to upgrade RAM later (add 1 x 16GB stick and voila 32GB, no wasted memory stick), i7 meant there is plenty of CPU grunt which should last abit and upgrade the video card later? pull old card out and put new card it (factor in the which card will/wont fit).

    I have used DELL warranty service before and they have been more than awesome (unless its changed), a professional comes onsite and sorts out the issue on the spot at a nominated time. None of the usual, its broken take it back to the computer shop and hope they will fix it sometime on the same day.

    If the purchaser likes to tinker (dont mind having a few heated words with self/machine), likes to save a few bobs and have plenty of time to wait (wont use the word waste) when things go wrong then ignore what I typed. :)

    Just 2c worth, am sure there are plenty of experts here with other opinions.

    PS. sorry not sure if this is an awesome deal or not one would have to go thru an exercise to work out what each part is then add the cost of built.

        Agreed but sometimes we don't have time.

        My current rig is an X51 R3 with GTX960 with a GTX 1070 in the Graphics Amp.

        Previously it was a Q9550 custom build that had two graphics upgrade and RAM lasted me to early 2016.

        @jlogic:
        Could you explain how you can't afford 2 hours to build the pc?

        I see this excuse over and over and i don't understand it 2 hours isnt a long time and your saving money or getting a better pc depending if you wanted to spend the same cash for a better pc.

        plus the satisfaction of building something of your own is awesome.
        i still remember when i build my first like 4 years ago it was awesome.

        @Axelstrife: Two kids and weekend activities. Also I disagree with the two hours… takes longer than that if you really want to make sure your built it right i.e. tidying the wiring, ensuring the HSF is mounted correctly with the thermal paste going in the right directions and then installing the OS and software.

        Even longer if you need to debug why your build isn't posting. This is what happened last time and I needed to find out why by stripping everything back out. Worked out that I needed a BIOS upgrade.

        Also the price of my PC was $1700 for a 6700k X51 R3 with Liquid Cooling so that came out to be on the same money as a custom built Mini ITX build but without the hassle. This also meant I could source bigger graphics cards as the cases had height and length restrictions, as I could use the Graphics Amp to upgrade.

        @jlogic: "thermal paste going in the right directions"
        I'm sorry but what?
        sounds like you have no idea what your talking about, all you need is a small spot in the center of your cpu it will spread when you put the heatsink on.

        Two hours is plenty of time to build the pc with some rough cables hidden in the back and to install the OS.

        If you won't even build your pc yourself then you wouldn't care about perfect wiring most cases you can route all cables in the back so they wont be all over the place inside ruining airflow.

        Why go mini atx for a small pc and then go and get a separate gpu amp? very counter productive.

        @Axelstrife: I am sorry if I am not up to your expectations. I suggest you go search thermal paste applications in Google you might be enlightened (give you a hint search line or blob thermal paste application). Yes you can do that but there are ways to ensure even coverage depending on the chip being used.

        Two hours is not plenty of time if you have two kids running around with interruptions.

        If I build my PC wiring has to be neat. Don't assume mate. I opened my X51 to ensure the wiring was neat. You assume I haven't built PCs in the past? I have built 5 PCs all up and all have been great builds and all very neat and tidy. With thermal paste application I will reapply the paste if there are hot spots when I run some stress test on it namely Prime95.

        Let me see I went a Mini ITX with a capable video card so if I do move it around I can still game comfortable while taking something small. When I am at home I can be docked into the GA and have full power. Again making assumptions.

        Just remember different people, different strokes. Just live with the fact that some people in life won't live up to your expectations, and maybe lower them a little and you will stress less, if this thing on the Internet is causing you to worry a bit much.

        Proof that it doesn't matter how you apply thermal past so a dot in the center of the cpu is fine.
        I don't care what dav123 said on soso website i rather go off reputable sources.

        I said two hours of building a PC,im not talking about interruptions as that isnt time spent building your pc.

        Fair enough on this point but you did buy prebuilt so it's right to assume you didn't care about your PC's cabling.

        This would be the only point of your's that makes sense since after some goggling right now the amp only works for alienware. though why didn't you build Micro itx with a GTX 1070 or 1080 wouldn't you of saved the cost of the Graphics amp enclosure?
        whatever i cant say what the pricing of an equivalent pc would of been at the time when you bought yours.

        I'm not sure why you are going on about living up to some expectation or whatever i only wanted to make the point that building a pc isn't as bad as some people make it out to be.

        @Axelstrife: Never said building a PC was bad… I enjoy it, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Nothing wrong with my purchase as it came out under what I wanted if I was to build myself. I took advantage of a free upgrade and an eBay 20% off voucher coupled with QFF.

        I guess with the thermal paste we are both right then it doesn't matter now due to everything being on the one die, but my last build it was better to do it in a straight line to get even coverage over the two separate dual cores (Q9550). Also reputable sources can come from meaning sources, even off a forum.

        My GA was on special and then I stacked another eBay 20% off which was coupled with QFF, so it made sense to buy it in order to upgrade graphics easier on later.

        I just did a quick PCpartpicker and it came in at $2200 with similar parts to mine. Which I think if I add all the bits and bobs it comes out the same or the Dell was cheaper. I can't remember exactly. I did do the sums.

        @jlogic:

        Agree on the priority on other life activity and also when the build isnt working.. The last build I did for a friend's family I spend a good 5+ hours effort trying to work out whats wrong and swapping parts out of my own PC doing problem diagnostics. At the end it was the video card being faulty, took the said faulty card back to MSY and had it swapped after advising them of my steps I did.

        The "satisfaction" of this leads to me seriously consider the saving vs time spend troubleshooting. Everything is easy till things dont work properly!
