What do you think?

A. >Excellent computer. Just realize now that with Home Premium edition, you are maxed out on the gigabytes of RAM you can have, even if you have more slots on the motherboard. Home Premium 64 bit can only access up to 8 gigs of RAM, that is the only condition I see you might want to consider. But other than that, looks zuper to me.

Original Question

Is this a good gaming computer?

Q. I am no computer genius, i am just after a PC that will run games like Skyrim on highest graphics.

A lot of the below doesn't mean a lot to me, i would just expect that this is a pretty good PC. The base price is £999.00. The specs can be upgraded though.

Please don't confuse me with your answers, i'd just like to know if this PC will run new games on high settings.

Here are the specs. Thanks in advance!

A. Hi there,with your gtx 570, you could play all games on maximum settings on 1080p resolution with good FPS.

If you're plaaning to have two gtx 570 in sli in the future then the 950w PSU is Okay but if you don't have plans on having another gtx 570 in sli then this is too much bec the power requirement of the gtx 570 is just 550w so a 700w would be more than enough.

DONT FORGET =P

A great aftermarket cooler (coolermaster brands are great)

Great gaming speakers

Gaming keyboard and mouse

AND your good to go, Enjoy your build, Merry Christmas =P
