Hey guys. I'm new to the forum. I joined because I was going to run my proposed build past some of the more experienced members here but then I came across this PC for sale for 800 dollars. It's worth more than twice as much as I budgeted myself. Here is the build:

asus maximus IV extreme -Z motherboard.
intel core i7 2600k sandy bridge(socket lga 1155) quad core 3.40 ghz.16 gb
DDR3-2133 4096mbx4 G.skill ripjaws-z Ram.
Antec25 kuhler h20 920 liquid cpu cooling system
.120 gb(2x60gb) solid state drives(ssd).
1 tb hdd.
corsair 850 watt power supply.
lg blue ray player/bd rewriter. dvd multi recorder/rewriter.
scythe 6 channel fan controller km04-bk.
EVGA Nvidia GeForce gtx 570 (2108 mb ) DDR5 graphics card.
thermaltakelevel 10 gt case((tower)
Logitech wireless g700 gaming mouse
logitech g19 gaming keyboard.
windows 8 64 bit OS installed.

I was anxious to build my own but unless I had about 2500 to spend, I think I would severely under perform this build while paying more to do it. Thoughts and opinions?

CPU and GPU are a couple of generations old, but it's still a very capable system for any tasks you plan to do, even gaming. It seems like a great deal for $800.
