It says it's only $679... I'm confused. It looks too good to be true for that price!

Please tell me what I'm missing.

That is a pretty good price for that build. Obviously you could do more if you throw a couple hundred more at it, but it's not bad as it is.

I almost got it til I noticed it didn't actually have a monitor unlike in the pictures.

Monitor? That's the only reason? Just buy one, lol.

 

[cleeezzz]

be ready to add a good 200 dollars onto that 679 lol

(if you plan on getting those widescreens)

700 for that isn't that great, everything is like 2 generations behind. You could get a current gen one for like 1000.

it's decent as far as pre-built systems go.. but id still rather take a bundle from like tigerdirect as opposed to that

something like this

for $50 more:

750W PSU vs 600 W PSU
2.66 quad vs 2.93 dual
4 gb 1600 ram vs 4gb 800 ram
260 core 216 GPU vs 9800 GT
1TB hard drive vs 320 gb hard drive
as far as the case goes i dunno.. but just the graphics card upgrade is worth it

and here's a good cheap monitor to go with it

(coupon: WKF35JP9FR9BLQ)

brings the price down to $126 for a 22" full HDMI monitor
