What do you guys think
I also got a better graphics card or something... Not too sure what it was but it made it faster

To be honest, you got taken on the video card. Other than that, everything else looks right on specs. However, you should take up an interest in learning how to build a desktop in the future (in order to save $$). If you do have a better video card, then I highly suggest installing it. Just fyi.

well I'm not looking for a pro gaming pc or anything. Plus the added video card that i got was free and i got this gaming PC for 900 actually. The manager knew my dad and he was like... OMG no way long time no see and he is like I'll give you a discount of the PC. So I think 900$ + a free better video card sounds awesome

What's the video card if you got a new, better one? Also don't understand the logic behind pairing a 8GB + 4GB RAM sticks together. Looks like you got a 460watt PSU as well...

For $900 and it being a HP desktop, I would say it's an "Meh" rating for me, especially with just the 1 YR warranty.

Not a good deal, stores always sell for profit, making this computer would cost a lot less if you knew what you were doing.

The processor is fine, a bit slower then the Intel Core i7 4770k (popular processor)
Ram is bad, but will be fine for the games you play
2tb hard drive is plenty, the fact that it didn't come with an ssd is depressing
windows 8.1, Do not like
Stock graphics card is bad, but not for the amount of ram you have.
1 microphone slot at the back, meh. Good if all you're using is a mic but if you start using more then one device, it'll be a hassle to constantly unplug and replug everything
460W power supply is alright for what is in the computer
consider uninstalling Pinger; HP Support Assistant; CyberLink PhotoDirector; HP Connected Music, unless you decide to use them.

All and all, the computer is alright, much better then your previous one, you'll definitively enjoy this one a lot better. From someone who casually plays video games in their off-time, this computer is perfect for you for the next 2-3 years.

Looking at this, I could make a better computer for around 700. If you're planning on getting a better computer in the near future for some reason, I'd recommend learning how computers work, and how beneficial it is to know how to construct and maintain a computer. It'll save you a lot of money in the long run.

Meh, I don't want to build one.. I just want one that I can enjoy ya know? But thank you for the feedback!

That's an okay PC, but building your own could've gotten you a better deal. Not saying what you got was a bad one, I'm just throwing it out there that building it is cheaper, and sometimes easier!!

My PC Specs:
Intel i7-4770k
12GB DDR3-1600 Ripjaws and Kingston HyperX Blu memory
750GB worth of hard drives (I have too many lol)
ASRock Fatal1ty H87 Extreme Gaming Motherboard
AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz OC Edition 2GB Graphics Card
ASUS VN Series 1920 x 1080 24" IPS LED monitor wall-mounted above my desk
Razer Black Widow Ultimate 2013 Edition
Standard Microsoft Wireless Mouse 2.0
750 Watt PSU (forgot brand name)
Rosewill Challenger gaming case w/ blue LED fans (lots of blue fans...)

This entire setup above cost me just shy of $1,000. That includes the keyboard, monitor, and PC. The PC was $850 (I bought everything on a "black friday" sale, except processor which I ordered straight from Intel).

That $1,100 PC has lower specs than my PC, yet you're paying more for it, and you know what they say; why pay more for less? Also, if you had an issue with that single PC, you'd most likely have to send the whole thing in for repair as opening the case and messing with certain things can void the warranty. That's how it is on my business PC which is an HP Pro 3000.

Building PCs is very easy; my PC that I have was the first PC I have ever built on my own. I didn't need YouTube or anything except for processor installment, which is one of the easiest things to do.

460 W Power supply? Ouch!!


Ehhhh you should be set for gaming for two years or so on medium to highish settings.

But like the others have said, the same build could be done for about 300 dollars less or maybe a little more.

Dat power supply tho! I will put it to you like this. You need a minimum of a 450 power supply just to support that graphics card alone. Whatever you do man....make sure you constantly keeping that case as free from dust as possible. If you can, give the insides a once over every so often as well. I couldn't handle the stress of a low PSU like that. =/

Congratz on your new computer Cover!

The PSU suffices for the stock GPU that's in it. It's not that powerful. 450 isn't bad if the PSU turns out to be an efficient model (that's a different discussion). The main issue is that he doesn't have a clue what the new GPU he bought is, so we can't even say if the PSU is dangerous close to be overshot or will it still be used comfortably without issue.

Wow I just read the post again and realized he said he got a better gpu out of the deal. This changes everything. I might have a heart attack.

The processor is fine, a bit slower then the Intel Core i7 4770k (popular processor)

Intel Core i7 4770k Clock Speed 3.5 GHz
Intel Core i7 4770 Clock Speed 3.4 GHz

Not that big of a difference, just slightly overclocked 4770.

What card did you get?
