price isn't that bad considering the specs , but who knows what mobo or no brand psu they are using.

Build one for the same price or cheaper with an ssd ( will be much faster), more reliable and upgradeable

These higher end ones usually use a good PSU, as they dont want to deal with the warrentiys, the mobo is usually an 80 dollar asrock mobo

Actually this PC is not bad at all, especially since it includes windows and an i7, one of the best ones i have seen. Not better than the 750 dollar ibuypower pc i found with a 280x and an i5 4690k (like 7 months ago)

I wouldn't buy it; nasty cable management out of the factory, cheap and even some no-name components. Looks like a train wreck waiting to happen. 

Actually, the cable management can be said as average,maybe above average. i have worked with these PCs a couple of times before and they route everything to the back of the case :)

psu looks decent ( can't see the brand though), the mobo has limited expansion options though.

I still wouldn't recommend buying it.
