    Not trying to be critical, but that is horriffic.

    I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else: read up on specs, and build your own PC. It really is nowhere near as hard as it sounds.

    If you need help deciding, feel free to ask me.

    But NEVER buy ready-built computers. They're severely overpriced for taking advantage of people who don't have much knowledge of hardware.

    Try buying an athlon processor and go for a good graphics card
    for 600$ you could probably shoot for a 260x with the 200r case which is the cheapest you can get that works well

    What about a source 210? Cheap and cheerful case :)

    I'd recommend the cheapest possible i5 (think its the 4440), and an matx to have the budget for a good GPU. Maybe even go itx if you really want to push it.

    Whoops, I'm looking at it with Canadian currency lol

    with american currency for 600$ you could get a 260x and probably a better cpu, if you don't plan on overclocking I'm pretty sure the asrock boards can be bought for a low price for the intel processors

    I still stand with the corsair 200r tho, it doesn't look as nice but it's so easy to build with and the quality is great :D

    TBH I'm not too familiar with the USD prices since I use GBP everyday, but this (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2wqHTW) is the sort of thing I'd recommend.

    I like it, only problem is that the shipping and taxes will sadly go way over 600 :(

    Though you could very well get rid of the coolermaster 212 and use the stock one, the mobo you included in that one doesn't overclock very well anyways


    I think we're going crazy on his thread lol

    I dont want cheap crap, I want quality computers. I suggest with a 5820k, 2 970s in Sli, a corsair cooler, and an Asus X99 motherboard.

    More importantly, we aren't doing professional rendering at 5K.
    Not at all :p. Btw, in the real world, you don't get much more of a boost from overclocking. Stock speeds are fine. If you ask me these days all you really get from OCing is more heat, a bigger electricity bill and a loss of warranty.

    Also, in the prices I mentioned, shipping is included :D.

    Depends which one you get. The ones you get for $500 can be made for $300. They appear to be just as bad as any ready-built machine :L
