Question 1

hay woold this be a good pc to buy for my wife to do pic. and scrap booking and my son gaming and movies?

Accepted Answer

For the records, I used to build custom PC as a hobby back when it was worth building your own and that big companies like IBM or Dell couldn't put together a gaming PC to save their lives.  They are getting much better at it in the last 5 years now so I don't bother do it myself anymore...

Back to your question, yes, it's a great PC for gaming, that's for sure.  My son and I both love it.  The Solid State drive is very fast for booting (~9 seconds) and the nVidia GTX 660 graphics card is super fast when rendering intense graphical games such as Skyrim and Need for Speed.  (I do recommend getting a monitor that can handle 1920x1080 resolution so you can see all the graphical glories, if you can afford some extra budget.)

And yes, it certainly can handle your wife's scrapbooking with no problems at all.

If I have to say something negative (not sure about your preferences) that would be that I myself don't like Windows 8 that much, but it comes with the system so we have to put up with it.

All in all, it's a well-built, solid system.  We haven't had any troubles with it at all so far.

Good luck.

Question 2

i plan to use this for heavy gaming. my question being about the two games i play the most. can this game run SKYRIM and WildStar at maximum settings with no lag?

Accepted Answer

I bought this computer a couple months ago and have tried out nearly every high-end game known to man. Not only does it run Skyrim smoothly with no lag on ultra settings, it can also handle multiple graphics mods with nearly no hesitancy. It runs quietly and barely heats up for games like crysis 3 on maximum settings. I recently purchased a second gtx660 gpu to boost performance to run skyrim more smoothly with tons of mods, but as of yet I have yet to find a game that this tower can't run on max settings flawlessly.

Question 3

Can the product be built by the costumer from parts, or do you have to buy it pre-built?

Accepted Answer

This is a prebuilt system.  And it's great!  But I'm sure you could find the right parts to build a similar system here at Newegg if that's what you like to do.  This one, though, will be ready to go, right out of the box.

Question 4

does it some with 2, 1.5 gb graphics card?

Accepted Answer

I'm assuming you're asking if it comes with two 1.5g GPUs. The answer to that, is no. It comes with one 1.5gb graphics card. That, however, should be more than enough to run nearly any game you can throw at it on max settings. It has for me so far.

Question 5

Does this computer have HDMI ports?

Accepted Answer

Yes at least one HDMI port that I am currently using. I believe it may have a second as well.

Question 6

will this computer run BF4 and or GTA V? (when Gta v comes out)

Accepted Answer

This computer will continue to be a top of the line PC as far as gaming is concerned for at least 5+ Years. It will run the crap out of those games.

Question 7

Can I upgrade the GPU to a EVGA GTX 760? The one with the ACX cooler.

Accepted Answer

Of course. This computer is built for upgrades and can handle higher-end GTX graphics cards, provided you have adequate power. The minimum power requirements for a GTX760 is 500W. This tower has a 625W power supply, so it should be more than enough to handle one 770. If you wanted to use more than one GPU, however, you would need a power supply with higher wattage to keep both GPUs adequately powered.

Question 8

Does the video card come with display port 1.2?

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Yes, it was connect and go.

Question 10
