I didn't pay ANY where near to 1k for this, I know someone who owns a PC whole sale shop.
Learn to read - Will be upgrading to 64 bit when My friend gives me this disk, and if you new anything about this CPU you actually CAN overclock it , you just need to do a few minor monifications, but I do not plan on over clocking it as I do not need to...
and the GTX550ti is an awesome GFX card, I currently play in 3D with no problems...

Has a 1TB Hard drive
Total build cost $496 ( Only because I pretty much got them at cost
You asked me to rate it, I rated it. No need to get mad. You never mentioned a price either. From a place like NewEgg, properly put together, this would run about $1k give or take a hundred bucks or so. How was I supposed to know you "know someone who owns a PC whole sale shop" lol? And tbh $500 seems too good to be true, sounds like BS to me.
1TB HD isn't anything special, I bought mine for $35 on sale from NewEgg.
GTX 550 Ti is basically a rebranded 460 lol. My 480 will womp on it all day long. This does not make it a "gaming" PC. 550 Ti's are like $110-150 max, they are nowhere near high end and certainly nowhere close to enthusiast. I guarantee you get like sub-40 FPS on most all new games @ highest settings w/ 8x AA etc. 1GB GDDR5? that's not even really enough VRAM for 1080p gaming, and leaves ZERO room to expand to double or triple screen gaming. I seriously don't mean to come off as an arrogant asshole.. sorry if I do, just explaining everything for you lawl
Also lolwat. You can't overclock the 2600. At least not enough for it to be worth it. You can OC it like 400MHz lol.. 3.8GHz may seem like a lot now, but those extra MHz never hurt. I'm at 4.2GHz and plenty of headroom to get up to 5GHz if I wanted to. Your computing needs WILL eventually go up, it's just a matter of time. The 2600k is like $15 more expensive than the 2600, so it makes absolutely no sense to go with the 2600. With the Z68 chipset, you can overclock and enjoy the iGPU. The 2600 is a rip off when you can pay essentially the same exact price and have more features and if there is such a thing as "future proofing", then it opens up that door as well. Not to mention some of the technologies only offered on Z68 like SRT.
