So, I was browsing newegg for graphics cards, and I saw this deal for a new 950. I know this isn't the best, just curious. Is the build that newegg recommended worth $400 usd, or are they full of it. Here is the link.Intel Core i3-6100 3M 3.7 GHz LGA 1151 BX80662I36100 Desktop Processor  Thanks! I am not buying this, just curious.

This link works and from what I can tell it would be hard to build a pc for cheaper. That being said the power supply kinda scares me.

Ok, kind of a newbie on power supplies. Why is that one iffy? I though evga made quality stuff? And the wattage is more than sufficient, right?

evga makes some powersupplys that are good but some that aren't so its better to find out if its a bad model or not. as for the wattage its plenty for those components.

Yeah the psu is a problem.Well here is solution you can buy this and change the psu with a better one.Otherwise the processor and gpu combination is a pretty good one for playing games with medium to high quality. Also the ram is a single one.Mostly two sticks x 4gb are preferred.Its a good del otherwise for just $410

actually the single stick is good to allow for 16 gb later. but after reading a review by johnnyguru it seems that its not a bad powersupply and actually has some ok compacitors in it. its pretty crap when it comes to efficiency and doesn't come with alot of stuff you'd expect with a psu but it will get the job done. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&file=print&reid=431 if you read the summary it tells you all that op needs to know

Thanks al! Note: I was not going to buy this, I am just trying to learn about budget components and what they are truly worth. Also! My current build is an i3 2100 on a DQ67SW board, with 8 gigs of ram. Is that card at all worth it?
