I think its a pretty sweet rig, can't wait til it's delivered.
What a steal!

Here's what I got:
• Windows 7 Ultimate [64-bit]
• AMD FX-8150 eight-core processor [3.6GHz, 8MB L2/8MB L3 Cache]
• 16GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM [4 DIMMs]
• 3TB 7200 rpm SATA hard drive
• 1TB 7200 rpm SATA hard drive
• 3GB AMD Radeon HD 7950 [Dual Bracket, DVI, HDMI, 2x mini-DP]
• 600W Power supply
• Blu-ray writer & SuperMulti DVD burner
• SuperMulti DVD Burner
• Premium Wireless-N LAN card and Bluetooth(R )(2x2)
• 15-in-1 memory card reader, 4 USB 2.0 (front), 2 USB 3.0 (top)
• Beats Audio (tm)

Should last me a while eh?


Going to edit with pictures and spec screens once I get it.


Also, I may be selling it. I got a decent discount on it so if your interested, shoot me a PM.
 
Pretty decent rig but I would have gone with a intel i5 instead of amd. I assume you had no control over that though.
 
Would have went with an Intel CPU & a SSD but not my choice, will still perform well.
Also why the fuck would you get beats lol... so many better headphones out there.

Looks like quite a beast of a computer but I would've went for 8 gb 1600 ram instead unless the motherboard etc. does not support 1600, but it definately should in 2012 lol.

The most important thing..

Your video card will use ~300W when actively using it in games and your processor can use up to 400W. This simply won't run, you will definately need a 1000W PSU with atleast 80% efficiency to run all this lol.

Not sure if you're fucking retarded, or trolling.
Vid card - 250watts max
Cpu - 125watts
HDDs, fans, ODDs etc - fuck all. At most this system would use 500w under FULL load, 100% cpu, and GPU whilst OC'd IMO.
Don't ever comment on this shit again til you learn your shit, ty.

244 Watts max normally, 586 when oc'd.

I cba searching for the videocard but under max pressure it's ~300 W.

If you want to have a system that can shut down because of a lack off Watts then that is fine, I would prefer spending 30$ more on a PSU.

It is not your opinion, it is based on the actual hardware that's inside.
 
Very nice computer, you will be very pleased with the performance if you do decide to keep it.
I am assuming it is prebuilt?

If you do sell it an want to build your self a gaming computer, definitely go with an intel cpu. Here is a link I like to give out that illustrates the vast difference between Intel and AMD for gaming-

The power draw is measured via a power meter at the wall, so the numbers below are of total system power draw from the mains, not the power consumption of a CPU itself.
Just give up. THat's 600watts with a 590, etc. -.-

RunescapeJJ, he only needs a 600w for that system. And I'm sorry but that site is horribly off, I HAVE an fx-8150 and fx-8120, I've never hit above 250W even when under full load at 5ghz OC'd. Of course it's not a lineal situation either, CPU Code/Model, PSU, & Mobo all play a part in this.

Here are some 'decent' power supply calcs;

He doesn't know how to read tbh.
For a single GPU machine I'd recommend a 650w bronze minimum(silver preferred) 80+ PSU.
