very nice for the price but it's 754. you'll need to upgrade it within a month but good until then. liquid cooling's cheap too...$80

Upgrade within a month?

This thread confuses me greatly.

Few of these responses have any thought...

Get real, if someone is buying a $335 computer why would they be thinking about processor upgrades?

This system does not include a "low quality" processor. You said yourself it will perform well. Just because you upgrade your CPU every year doesn't mean that's what everyone else will do.

future upgrade options is always a good thing to consider about when buying the initial parts. and as for the "low quality parts," i meant the parts around the cpu such as the case, psu, cd-rom, possibly the mobo, etc that comes with it. it's usally better to get well name-branded items and have less hassle than generics. i never said the cpu itself was a bad thing nor a good thing. im just saying 939 would have a better chance with upgradability, that is, if it ever lives long enough to support a cpu that would give a good increase vs a 3700.

Man, this looks like an excellent deal considering the CPU you get.
It would seem that the ones knocking this deal are the people who should spend more time reading this board vice posting in it.

The fact that it's a S754 only means that you will not be able to upgrade the CPU without getting a new MB since that is the fastest S754 chip made. This shouldn't be a big deal. The 3700+ will still be fast for awhile, and by the time a new CPU is needed, Socket M2 will be out anyways.

Also you save another $16 by dropping the one year onsite warranty service. I don't even need a new PC, but I'm tempted to jump on this.

I've bought my last 5 PC's from cyberpower so they're reputable. Their customer service is annoying but they send out good stuff. I just received the system in my sig on Friday from them.

How much did you pay for that rig and how loud is that system?

Thanks,

Tom

I paid 1154 for the system minus the additions(stuff I allready had). It also included a Chaintek 6600 LE and 512 mb of corsair value select, logitech mouse/keyboard/speakers.
The system isn't overly noisy but I may change out the fan on the watercooler. At 1.45 vcore I push 48-49C temps@maxload and I'd like to get that down a bit. Now I just need to decide on dual GT's or dual GTX's

People, you need to get real. That 'new' cpu that you've been waiting for is 'old' by the time it hits the retail channel. The 65 nm process was alive and well at AMD at least 3 years ago. AMD has delayed the process in favor of building a new plant to handle larger wafers. The minute that you buy, something else is bigger and faster. The fact is that a 3700+ is more than adequate for 90% of the needs of most people. What you have to wait a nanosecond longer, tuff.
