The pre-built gaming PCs usually have shitty vid cards and lacking components unless you buy a gaming laptop. They are pretty standard.

It's not hard to build one and I will help you select components for a budget build if you want.

yeh i get that. i can just grab a 60-80 HDD to install Windows 7 on. .... but doesn't "OME" limit me from installing that copy of the OS onto another computer. even tho is kinda the same computer?

I hate to say it but from I have read about the OEM versions it will not work. I believe it is tied to the mobo so you can change anything except that. That is what reviews have said on the Internet at least.

Also concerning the GPU's I agree with blue. In your range a 7870 runs you 200-230. It also out performs the 660 and is on par with the 660ti depending on your settings and preferences.

jeff why would you not reuse a CPU cooler if you could? All you need is some coffee filters and isopropyl etoh. Seems like a big waste to buy a new heatsink of the same variety and performance.

trace, pics please. I didn't know they were making blocks for the titan already.
