    That's an excellent setup! But be wary that if your going to be using it for gaming the graphics card might need to be upgraded soon-ish depending on how smooth you like to play newer games!

    Aw well then you'll be fine, football manager is really low specs! I've a graphics card similar enough in power to that I'll get a few years out of it because I'm not a graphics junkie! A class PC though!

    Yes, with hugely varying performance. Without the exact model number it's hard to tell.
    Since it's 2.76GHz, it could be an i7-920, which was one of the first i7's to come out back in 2008. The performance of that particular CPU, although no slouch, could be outclassed by newer i3's, and is only worth about €50 on it's own.

    Then again it could be a more modern one, but it's impossible to tell without details.

    Its a pretty bad PC for the price! Its the i7 920 model. It has old sockets as so processor cant really be updated. I definitly wouldnt buy it. Graphics card is fairly out of date as well. Graphics card below would be more than double the strength and the processor stronger stronger

    ZOTAC GeForce GTX 760, 2GB DDR5|€212.09
    AMD FX-6300 Prozessor, Boxed, Sockel AM3+|€99.09
    ASRock 960GC-GS FX, Sockel AM3+, mATX|€41.59
    8GB G.Skill PC3-10667U CL9|€65.21
    Super Flower Amazon 80Plus Bronze Netzteil - 450 Watt|€45.56

    He's also getting a 120gb SSD with a BluRay player and said himself one of his main reasons for getting it is to watch blu ray movies, so it'd cost a bit more than 568 to assemble himself

    Old sockets, bad graphics card, Old Ram. If he wants a 120GB SSD and a Blueray player it would bring the build the 700 which would be more ideal.
