Hi, if you're just after a quick sanity check the components look good and it will play Warzone smoothly for you, so no worries there.

What I would have changed would depend on the budget and parts available to me. Usually you get better components overall by building yourself for the same price as a pre-built.

One thing I can say is that the PSU's in these pre-built machines are usually just O.K. But that doesnt really affect its performance, more its longevity and potential for overclocking. They also dont tend to have particularly great case cooling as is, but again your average consumer probably isnt going to notice that in practice.

Enjoy

On paper, that looks to be a great system that will stand you in good stead for a number of years. A couple of concerns - IBUYPOWER isn't a name brand, so I'd be a little wary of their water-cooler sitting on my extremely expensive CPU.

The other thing is that Hi Power PSUs can be mediocre, although the 80+ seems better than some.

Its a fair point, but in this case the cooler is upgraded to a Deepcool Castle 240EX (review)
