    It's a great build, what do you intend on doing with it.

    That'a an absolute bargain to be honest.

    Why the 2133 Mhz Ram though?

    Yeah, It's very gooood!
    But, why do you want 2133MHz RAM? Get a 1333 and overclock it.. Simple.
    That will save you more money to let you buy a better GPU

    The videocard got upgraded to a 5750 and the Hard Disk to 750GB. Price ALSO dropped to $460. So there's a better videocard and a bigger HD + $30 of the original price.

    I want to play games with it, do you think it can handle Battlefield 3 for example? And then I don't mean everything on Low, I want to play with nice settings : ) This is a pre-build computer, new, I don't get to choose RAM. Is 2133 bad though?

    Thanks for the comments! It's a pre-build set so I might as well just settle for that. Is the videocard alright? What about adding $50 to replace the 5750 for a 5770?

    I've just been seeing soooo many parts and different builds / prices. I'm not very into all the technical things about computers. Basically I want something that will last me for a while without upgrading and the ability to play videogames on nice settings.

    You shouldn't waste 50 more bucks for a little upgrade, stay with this.

    Thank you for your comments. The price compared to what I'd get, is that good/bad or perhaps even amazing/terrible?

    What about the Micro ATX? I've heard bad things about that, is that going to bite me in the ass in the future?

    If the micro ATX board has everything you want, go for it. Just make sure it has everything you want. The board you selected has 4x sata 3, which is good, but has no USB 3.0. I don't know how much you care about USB 3.0, but take that into consideration. Also it only has 2 ram slots but you should be good. Also don't expect to SLI/Crossfire in the future.

    SLI/Crossfire means 2 videocards in 1 PC? I'm not really planning on doing that anyway. Even if really needed, I can always upgrade my motherboard but I prefer not to.
