          He is right though. A gaming PC should be concentrating on the GPU rather than the CPU. Anything more than an I5 is really a bit of a waste when it comes to gaming at the moment.

          However it is actually a good deal regardless. It is still a gaming pc and other tasks that don't include gaming will benefit from the cpu.

        • ItsMeAgro on 25/10/2012 - 17:34
          +7

          Actually, guys he's right. An i3 2120 ($130) with the savings spent on a better GPU will get you much better games performance for the same price.

        • Ace on 26/10/2012 - 01:56
          +1

          Because the average joe sees it's an i7 so they automatically assume it's better and more of a bargain than the i5/i3 for the same price that has a better gpu.

    • vid_ghost on 25/10/2012 - 14:58

      you will be able to play games fine.. yes not with every single eye candy setting on but its much faster then you think. Plus runs cool, and you get the latest 28nm GPU tech

  • bruc3 on 25/10/2012 - 15:00

    It seems to be a pretty good price seeing considering they offer 2 Years Warranty on it. But careful before you purchase, it DOES NOT have WINDOWS installed. Not sure I would call this a gaming PC though, but it would do well for general stuff and light gaming.

  • fryandlaurie on 25/10/2012 - 15:04

    MSY prices (using the cheapest options):

    CPU: $298
    RAM: $39
    HDD: $79
    M/B: $70
    GPU: $99
    ODD: $19
    CASE: $39
    PSU: $17

    TOTAL: $660

    So, pretty competitive pricing. Plus this would be pre-assembled and would have warranty.

    However, we don't know the PSU and Case quality. I've assumed it's a cheap Apower PSU and have used the cheapest case MSY offered - the Asus Vento TA-U11 (which is probably better than the one being used by Mr PC Geek).

    Nonetheless, it's a pretty good deal. From what I know the i7 will not benefit gaming too much compared to an i5 so if it were your own build you'd probably be spending more on the GPU. However, for things other than Full HD gaming this would serve well e.g. Video editing and Photoshop.

    Do correct anything that might be wrong in my post. Just recently started learning about PC parts and such.

    • aerona on 26/10/2012 - 01:38

      Just because the price is competitive doesn't mean it's a good build at all. Some computer shop can build the worst PC and have the same price as MSY still doesn't mean it's good.

      • fryandlaurie on 26/10/2012 - 09:28

        That's a fair point. Totally agree about the build being really weird. Just wanted to share the prices for anyone interested that's all :-)

    Yet another company refusing to ship to PO boxes. Ugh. Otherwise, this looks to be not a bad deal.

    • derpdeder on 26/10/2012 - 07:56

      So, out of interest, how does a courier ship to a PO box?

      Do they rock up at the little door and knock on it? Get the post office staff to take the liability for signing for it? Or is the every merchant meant to use Auspost to appease you?

      • Nezuji on 26/10/2012 - 10:54

        When the company only ships by courier, it's true that I've simply got to deal with it (unless the courier is AAE).

        When the company says that they ship all orders via registered post right on the product page immediately above "Please note: We DO NOT ship to PO BOX Addresses", I'm annoyed.

    it's really such a waste to use a B75 chipset on an i7 3770 processor

    • Merlict on 25/10/2012 - 16:23

      What makes you say that? It's not an unlocked CPU, what's the benefit?

      • Gil Gunderson on 25/10/2012 - 16:52
        -2

        B75 doesn't do memory overclock

        in summary

        The B75 chipset designed for business orientated chipset. So there will be no overclocking feature

        The Z77 chipset is a performance orientated chipset and does allow overclocking.

        then that begs the question why get an i7 3770 processor if your not going to overclock or use it to its full potential

        • Merlict on 25/10/2012 - 17:05
          +2

          This is not a K processor, so CPU overclocking is irrelevant.

          Pushing memory speeds isn't useless, but will have pretty minimal benefit for most people buying prebuilt computers

        • WT on 26/10/2012 - 10:35

          Pretty sure you can still OC the non k version.

    Just FYI: this is more of an all-rounder PC that can do games.

    A gaming-focused build for this budget should have a cheaper CPU with the extra spent on a stronger GPU. Personally I'd go $120 i3 2120 and HD 7950 (several times faster game performance, about $20 more) or i5 and 7850.

    • Agret on 27/10/2012 - 05:09

      I would go for GTX 670 over a 7950, price is a little bit more but the performance is soo much better.

      • aerona on 27/10/2012 - 09:34

        so is the powee consumption..

  • sp3ctr41 on 25/10/2012 - 18:09
    +1

    Really good deal, however not a gaming pc since the cpu far exceeds the gpu capabilities, unless you have a REALLY cpu intensive game that will remarkably utilise hyperthreading (dwarf fortress :P?)

    Only useful for multitasking, encoding, photoshopping, and general use considering the low price for being prebuilt…

  • twe4ked on 25/10/2012 - 20:48

    @mrpcgeek do you have a PC at a similar price with an i5 and a better GPU?

    Edit: To anyone else, what graphics card would you upgrade to?

  • ProspectiveDarkness on 25/10/2012 - 20:55
    +4

    Good to see that most people these days know that a higher model number on the processor doesn't necessarily equal better performance in everything… unfortunately, I don't think many retailers have caught on to this revelation.

  • chipstss on 25/10/2012 - 21:38

    Downgrade to an i5 or MAYBE an i3 and get a better GPU.

  • Xebozone on 25/10/2012 - 23:10

    While I agree that a better GPU and a reduced CPU would be better for gaming, the price is pretty damn good.

  • aerona on 25/10/2012 - 23:44

    You don't need a i7 for gaming, no games use 8 threads anyway, i5 will do for any game released at the moment.

        Just saiyan, best for your buck if you want it for gaming and not editing. If you want to build a proper PC, get a K series intel CPU like the 3570K Ivy bridge(runs cool to mild clocks) or the the 2500K(older but better for higher clocks still best value for money IMO) and invest in a better GPU like the recent super reduced 7870 hd radeons deals on ozbargain.

  • bbyboy on 25/10/2012 - 23:56

    everyone is talking about spending more money or swapping for a better gpu but you have to remember you'll also need to spend more to get a better psu

    • ProspectiveDarkness on 26/10/2012 - 00:00
      +1

      Well that depends on the one bundled with the case. Granted, I wouldn't trust it as far as I can throw it without investigating first, but since we don't know the specific model, it's a bit early to be calling for new power supplies.

    • ItsMeAgro on 26/10/2012 - 10:04

      New GPUs don't use that much power anymore.

      • Ace on 27/10/2012 - 03:33

        Yeah but pre-built custom pcs usually use budget PSUs that don't have much leeway for upgrading other parts without upgrading the PSU as well.

    Hey with this deal - Gamer PC i7-3770/8GB/1TB/USB3/1GB ATI HD-7750 - how much extra to change the 7750 to 7950 and the power supply to Corsair TX650 ? Cheers

    • Store Repmrpcgeek @ MR PC GEEK on 26/10/2012 - 11:24

      Hello.

      An additional $359

  • WT on 26/10/2012 - 10:46
    +2

    you include a 7750 in the deal, click add 7850 which is $209

    seems rich when your deducting the cost of the 7750 and the cheapest 7850 is $175 now. If your fast you can get a 7870 for $215 but normally sell out quick. You can pick one up in sydney for $225 any day of the week.

    Just saying

    Me, personally I think its great offering these but without knowing what sort of psu is supplied its meh. I have bought generic bundles before. in fact the pc im on has the psu from one and it has the cap whine and high picth squeal.

    • zelda707 on 26/10/2012 - 12:04

      i emailed them, it comes with a 620W Honli power supply. is that good or bad?

      • mrfluffy on 26/10/2012 - 12:33
        +1

        Its nothing flash but it will do the job and you get a 2 year warranty.
        Strange as it might seem, i have had better reliability from generic type power supplies than the flash brand name ones.

        They must be getting the 7750 for next to nothing if they want an extra $209 for a 7850. That bullsh#@ price kills their image for me.

        Best to buy the standard machine and buy a better video card elsewhere if you want a fair dinkum gaming machine. For normal use it is a great buy imo.

    If you want i7 performance for the price of a i5, get the Xeon e3-1230v2. It's pretty much a 100mhz slower 3770 minus the integrated graphics and lack of overclocking features. (which the average consumer doesn't use) Other than that, you save about $50 and get marginally slower performance (100mhz slower only) as the 3770 but faster than any i5 CPU. (The Xeon has the same 8MB cache and 8 Threads like the i7) Here is the official comparison specs for you skeptics. http://ark.intel.com/compare/65520,65732,65719
    It uses the same Ivy Bridge architecture so most 1155pin motherboards will support it.
    You can pick one up for around 245 or more or less off from websites on static ice
    Once again, if you are a willing to overclock the CPU in the future, then don't bother with this one

    • fryandlaurie on 26/10/2012 - 21:17

      Wow, that's pretty cool. I had the preconception that server CPUS needed server motherboards but just wow!

        That's what I initially thought as well but I was browsing through PCCaseGear and they were selling the old v1 model in the 1155 section which got me curious. If you google it up, there are a few forums that discuss the hidden potential of this CPU. It kind of reminded me of those AMD CPUs where you can unlock a few extra cores to get similar performance to a much more expensive CPU. But the problem with that was that there was a risk involved. With this, there is no risk. Just make sure you go to the motherboard website and check out if the CPU is compatible. 90% of new motherboards should be
