Good gaming computer for the price?

Hey everyone,

I am thinking of buying this gaming rig and was wondering if the price is worth it. Here are the specs:

Asrock Z77 Extreme4 LGA1155
Intel Core i7 3770K @ 4.60Ghz Turbo Boost 8Mb 22nm
NZXT Havik 140 / Dual 140mm FAN
SLI (2x) Nvidia GeForce GTX670 OC 2Gb GDDR5 Dx11
G.Skill Ripjaws 16Gb 4x4Gb 2133Mhz
SSD Corsair Force 3 240Gb Sata 3 6Gb/s
2tb hard drive 7200rpm
Lecteur Graveur Blu-Ray Cd Dvd
Audio 8 Canaux HD / Sortie Optique
10/100/1000 Mbps
NZXT Hale82 850W 80+ Modulaire
NZXT Phantom Crafted Series
Microsoft office 2010
Windows 7

Total: 2609.99$

That seems well priced for a rig that insane, but it might be wise to consider: do you need that, or perhaps step it down from the 2 graphics cards (which have major issues)? Next gen's graphics will be as good as the SLI setup, for a lot less. The parts seem appropriate to the price though, so if price and SLI issues aren't a concern, then that seems pretty good. (Excuse the drool)

Thanks for the feedback, will certainly look for issues regarding SLI from the 670's.

It's not anything to do with the 670 itself (I've got one, as you can see in my sig), it's multi-card solutions in general. Many people cmplain about micro-stuttering (which is slight differences in the delay between frames), and that, in some people's experience more than negates the framerate benefits. I personally have never had an SLI or crossfire setup, but this is just my advice. Maybe try it out beforehand if you can (you phrased this like it was a whole system being bought)?

Why not build it yourself? You can probably save a couple hundred bucks, maybe 3-400
