Saw this, 609 USD for 12 gigs of ram, i7-4770 processor complete desktop system. Slap in a video card, hook up your monitor and you are golden for a few years at least. 609 bucks is really cheap. Follow the directions for the price.

This is a terrible purchase. Bad motherboard, probably not a standard form factor either, terrible low wattage psu, plastic case that most likely has intergrated standoffs for said proprietary motherboard form factor. You're essentially buying a locked i7, 12gb ddr3 ram, a DVD drive, and an HDD here, maybe a network expansion card, the specs aren't clear. I really hope no one bought this :x

I would like to state this only a terrible purchase for someone who really wants a gaming PC. Everyone else this is a Solid Purchase at a pretty decent price.

For a general use pc, You can spend much, much less. This would be ok for someone who does a lot of compute work, maybe heavy photo editing. Very niche usecase.
