Even though I am not a serious gamer, when my old PC died, I wanted to buy something that was powerful enough today to meet my needs for the next several years. I'm also about to have more time on my hands, so I figure I'll be playing more games.This mid-level gaming pc seemed to fit the bill.I'm pretty sure I got it cheaper than I could have built it.Good quality parts and put together well.I didn't really care about the fancy lights or see through case, but I have to confess that they are growing on me.I haven't done anything serious with it yet, but even low level, web browsing tasks are noticeably faster than my old (7-10 year old) pc. (this is not surprising, but is still nice.)Also, worth noting, I'm impressed with how quiet it is, even with four fans going.,
