The cpu, ram and video card are good; but far from high end.
CPU:
Core i7-965, -975 Extreme, -980X Extreme
Core i7-860, -870, -875K, -920, -930, -940, -950, -960, -970
Core i5-750, -760
Core 2 Extreme QX9775, QX9770, QX9650
Core 2 Quad Q9650
Video card:
Discrete: GTX 580/ HD 5970
Discrete: GTX 295, GTX 480, GTX 570/HD 4870 X2, HD 6970
HD 4850 X2, HD 5870, HD 6950
Discrete: GTX 470, GTX 560 Ti HD 5850, 6870
Discrete: 9800 GX2, GTX 285, GTX 460 1GB, GTX 465 HD 6850
And I can't remember the last time I saw a "High end" system use an Asrock motherboard. Don't get me wrong Asrock do make decent motherboards but no no no not "High end".
Power supply is an important part and going with a cheap one like the one listed is welcoming headaches later down the road.
As for the LCD those are discontinued and only 25.5in
For a bit more one can have a 27in LG LCD/TV combo |

I don't usually crap on people's ads but I hate seeing this statement. Your rig is no where close to being able to do this. |

High end does't just mean the best one available. All components are in the upper bracket in performance. You are arguing over semantics. It has played every game I have tried at max settings. The cpu at almost 4ghz chews up everything and so does the graphics card.
The PSU is not a cheap generic PSU. Please read reviews before posting crap. It's got a very good reputation here for being solid and reliable and a bargain at it's price. Just because it's not a well known brand on new egg doesn't mean it's not good. It has more solid and stable lines then my old enermax psu. But I guess you would know that as you have read the reviews? I guess you just looked at the original price and assumed...
As for the motherboard. It works flawlessly. It can overclock the chip to over 4ghz stable but I chose to run it at 3.8ghz on stock volts. What added features do you want that this doesn't have? Why pay more for a P55 board that does the exact same thing (at double the price).
I even included all the cheapest prices available for everything to avoid trolls like you. If you are not interested, get out of the thread and stop being ignorant. |

Moochy,
I am interested in what you have offered although it is still a little pricey for being used. Would you go down more if I bought everything together?
email me at ceraphim(at)gmail.com |

Definition of HIGH-END
: of superior quality or sophistication and usually high in price <high�end cameras
Semantics? Really?!
Asrock is NOT high end. Why? They don't use long lasting capacitors such as Gigabyte and ASUS on thier High end boards. Period.
Power supply is Not high end. Period.
The ram is not High end. Last time time I checked cas 9 is about as low as you can get.
High settings?! Are you playing Angry Birds or the like?
High settings mean kicking up AA and having a decent FPS.
If I had seen this system advertised as good, fast or even midrange I would have not bothered. But people should be informed about what is being advertised.
And no I am not ignorant as your statement states:

Funnily enough the computer fits the definition of high end you just gave. It's not mid range and it's not budget. End of.
The Asrock board will be out of date before it dies on you. Not only that but it clocks just as well as the equivalent Gigabyte/Asus boards. Keep paying extra for that brand name.
The ram is 1600 and therefore runs at a higher latency. Unless you want to fork over a lot more this is about as good as it gets. Maybe I should go back to some nice DDR1 800 for some nice low latency.
Angry birds? Troll much? It runs all the games I have played on it at max settings (FFXIV, Dragon Age, Mass effect, COD).
I have included current links to every single component at it's cheapest price. How is that not informing people. I am hardly trying to con people here.
This is a great system at a very reasonable price, especially for someone who doesn't want to go through the hassle of speccing up and building their own PC. You have had your say so now please stop cluttering my thread with more trollage. |

I'll take it for 650k won. I could pay in cash, immediately.
I'd say it's fair. Expect to lose about 30% of your original price on used electronics.
PM me if you'll accept my offer. |

Actually it is. Sure, the odd game will crap it out, but for the most part, games will run well at that resolution (probably with no AA or AF). Heck, I have a Q9550 (@ 3.2GHz) paired with a HD6870 (a pretty similar card in terms of performance) running great on a 24" monitor (1920x1200).
Its a good gaming system. Not the best, but far from the worst. High-end mainstream I think is a fair statement. |
