    I know most or you would probably say it's much cheaper to build my own one but I don't mind treating myself to a ready made pc. I want one that can give a strong performance when playing the latest games.
    Once I buy it you're all going to witness some amazing skills on css/csgo ;)

    Get a 144hz monitior if u wanna game at a higher level or just overall more smooth if you are gonna invest in a 1000k+ computer.
    I felt a lot motion sickness the first days until I got used to it but it is a big difference, u can also go for 244hz but have no experience from it so can't say anything about it.

    if you're gaming at 1080p or lower, replace the GTX 980 with a 970 or 2 660 Ti in SLI but in case of the 2 660 Ti's you'll need a bigger power supply, something like RM850 or something

    If you're gaming at something higher than 1080p then just stick for 980

    You shouldn't buy a SLI configuration immediately. Buy your 1st GPU, play with it for a few years and if it's lacking behind, buy another one or get a completely new GPU.

    I dont see any point in SLi. Btw @Lux after "few years" you wont find the same card anymore... maybe 2nd hand.. but wont be worth the price.

    There are no GTX760's anymore in your region? Those are still in stock for me.

    GTX760 is ''few years''. There must be a very low demand for GPU's in your region as those you mentioned are available here.

    Yea this region looks for newer GPU rather than selling old ones. I thought it was the same all over the world since technology keeps advancing, companies stop producing older cards once they have newer one from the same range. There also no point to buy older technology when faster and more energy efficient is available.

    I know what you mean. But Europe is more updated compared to Egypt when it comes to PC market. But its still not as much as Hong Kong, very hard to find older stuff there. I said that taking this into account.

    Are you sure u wont get sick of all the lamps shining all the time? Also did u check the seller?

    http://www.macdonaldsystems.byethost3.com/index.php
    I'm not sure but i dont see how a computer selling site can have a site that is so basic and no info about them what so ever


    http://www.macdonaldsystems.com/ also this site but it isn't even close to the other site


    Edit: nvm just checked their whole ebay site seems legit :p
