Wait, a 64 GB SSD? Also, that PSU is scaring me.

Your PSU just sounds like they shoved a copper coil in there and called it a PSU.

Thats not a gaming PC.

That is a rendering PC.

 

Tiny SSD!!! Just weak!!!

Unknown PSU!!! Just NO!!!

 

I plan on using it both for Gaming and Rendering, as I do youtube. 

 

The SSD is there so I can throw a small amount of games on it (typically 1-3 will fit) without having to spend more cash on an SSD i won't ever fill. 

 

 

Your PSU just sounds like they shoved a copper coil in there and called it a PSU.

 

Ya, I was a bit worried about that but considering how it's 1,000 watts and the computer I put together only needs ~600 watts currently, I got it for overkill (and just in case I was SLI in the future).

Not if you have an operating system on there

I plan on throwing my OS on the 2TB hard drive and reserving the SSD for gaming.

GTA V is bigger than that SSD.

My windows folder is 21GB.

You will only be fitting old games on that SSD

Prebuilt  :unsure:

 

I got a pretty big discount on it, otherwise I would have never gone prebuilt.

I knew ahead of time that I couldn't fit GTA on the SSD, but I knew I could fit most games I usually play (Witcher 3, Skyrim, and Europa Universalis IV)

 

I will just constantly switch out games in my SSD as I see fit.

This looks like a boutique build, either a Cyberpower or iBuypower build.

 

I will give it an 8/10. you can save some money by doing the OC yourself and probably getting a different case and you can channel that money to a bigger SSD, 64gb is just nonsense for a system that will have and OS, standard editing programs and games.......and your porn collection :P

A water-cooled mid-tier gaming PC.

You're right, it was a Cyberpower. 

 

In the future I could always add more storage to it, seeing as how I have a full case.

How much did you send. If you spent over $2000 you got ripped off. 16GBs of ram will give you the same performance and so will a overclocked 5820k. Also MINIMUM 120gb SSD. what's the exact name of the power supply?

5/10

The PSU is sending off big red warning lights in my head. 

 

Overall, I'd give it a 5/10. There's too many things I would want to change and some things that are a waste of money for gaming. 

 

What about the PSU is scaring you? Considering how my PC only needs a ~600 watt PSU at the moment, I figured 1,000 watts would be overkill.

 

Ya, I forgot to specify that I'm going to be using this for video editing and recording for youtube.

It's the fact that it's a " Standard 80 Plus Power Supply". No information on the model. It may well be 1000 watts, which is certainly overkill, but if it's some crappy, no name PSU, I would want to change it straight away, or you may as well say goodbye to the rest of the system.

That is right. Any SSD below 250gb is not recommended as a boot drive by me. Now if you are tech savvy you can just take the base drive and then you buy an SSD of your choice else where for a better price and turn it into your boot drive and make the other hdd as storage.

Is there any branding on it? Other stickers? If not, I would change it right away.
