Update:

Thanks for feedback.

The Wintech Z2 mouse has horrible precision e.g., takes a while to move the cursor pointer on a tiny dot due to fluttering.

Bought the small capacity hard drive because of budget but a day later there was an F3 Spinpoint 500GB HD for just 5 dollars more >.>

Need prices.

Update 2:

The 250GB HD was only 34.99 when I bought it.

Update 3:

@snakattak

The price for the performance increase in the upgrade you suggested is absotively posilutely futile. I prefer AMD, but would agree that Nvidia has the better performing video cards for single-GPU-one-LCD gaming experience in a Radeon vs Geforce congression.

    Looks good all around. I'd go with a larger hard drive though than 250 GB

    There is no need for the extra 'Avexir' RAM. The 8 GB of GSkill will do you just fine (and then some)

    Nice gaming rig. Good processor, video card, power supply.

    Too much memory, but that's not really a downside. The hard drive is a bit small for loading lots of games (new games can use 10-20+ GB) but the speed is fine.

    Great Computer, I would recommend a larger hard drive and i would use a RAZER mouse, keyboard, and headset personally.
