Hello,
ive read here that pre-build PCS most likely have some "weak" parts, so i seek opinions about weakest parts in this pre-build PC i have my eyes on. Below is copy pasta of its properties, its price atm is 1,3k usd.

- Aerocool Strike-X XTREME DEVIL RED (3 vents)

- Intel® Core™ i7-6700K 4.0~4.2Ghz Skylake
- MSI Z170A GAMING M5 (Intel® Z170 Express chip / DDR4 / USB3.1 / SATA 6GB)
- 8GB HyperX FURY 64-Bit DDR4-2666 CL15 288-Pin DIMM
- 2000GB SATA3.0(6GB) 7200RPM + 120GB SSD (540MBytes)
- MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G (NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960 / 4096 GDDR5 / TWIN FROZR V)
- Killer™ E2400 Gigabit LAN
- DVD+-RW 22x SATA
- Corsair VS650 650W, 12cm
- 7.1 CH HD Audio / Realtek® ALC1150

It would be used for: HQ Gaming + Streaming, some Video Editing (Sony Vegas/AAE)

If your goal was to UPGRADE it with widely available top stuff at this time for the sake of better performance/longevity, what would YOU change?

Cost increase doesn't matter
Appreciate any feedback and opinions

That CPU is wasted on that GPU.

The GPU would go first.

980 TI that bad boy and call it a day.
Then a new psu.. can't say I've heard of the VS series from corsair.
SSD

What cooler does it have on it?

not specified

Overpriced. Parts dont seem that bad. Idk that PSU model either which isn't good typically.

Unspecified cooler probably means stock. I would check the FAQ or reviews to find out

You should at least get a 970/380 with that build. Not a 960.

U can pick parts + ncix us build it for $50.

cos it's even more shitty than cx series

weak parts would be:
shitty psu
small ssd
unknown 2tb hdd (there's lots of 2tb that fail out there, so it's important to know what ur gettin)
low tier gpu for a 1.3k budget
no cooler info on a pricey mobo + cpu? would have to assume it's stock.

1.25k just for reference
change gpu to http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-04gp42974kr if ur nvidia fanboi

great stuff guys



this local vendor doesnt seem to have those, need to contact them to find out, i have a feeling your prognosis of it being stock cooler is correct

forget HQ Gaming. With that Grafics Card you can run games at 1080p at medium to high settings. Thats it.
And yea, Remove the grafics card and a better one. 980ti if money is not an issue, r9 390(X) if you want to save some money.
Also a new PSU and a larger SSD

Corsair VS series PSUs are marketed towards office use and are not meant for gaming. They are made by Channel Well but do not use high quality parts. They are 80+ Cert on 230v EU only.

if you really want a prebuilt watch slickdeals and wait for one of these to go on sale again
