    Default Anything wrong with this newegg combo deal?

    Hey it's my first time here.

    Time to get a new desktop and saw this combo deal on newegg:

    Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more!

    That $100 discount looks appealing. But i heard that most of these deals have some cheap parts. Could you look at the config at see what could go wrong here?

    Thanks a lot!

    The only thing "wrong" with it is that it's a MicroATX motherboard, so it limits your expansion capabilities in a full-sized ATX case. But other than that, it looks like a pretty solid deal to me, especially if you're looking at a 560Ti video card anyway.

    Thx pitabred! I'll try get a full-size ATX mobo.

    How about the PSU? Is 600W enough for 560 Ti?

    Yeah. It's fine for one card. It won't run two, though. Those combos are designed to work together, so you can be sure that if it all comes in the combo it'll work fine.
