Some facts on the CPU: it is currently #24 on PassMark [10,121] cpubenchmark.net<\/a>. Ahead of it are the Xeon E5-2xxx, the AMD FX-9590, and a few Core i7s (48xxK, 49xxK and 39xxK). A short while ago the 4770K was #17 and selling for ~$350.<\/p>\n

The case was an Amazon lightning deal from November, 2012. <\/p>\n

The CPU+Motherboard was supposed to be a combination deal for $420, but it ended up $445 because Microcenter is not fully competent. Even on the website, adding the $420 deal to cart ends up as $430. I only noticed that after I had made my in-store purchase.<\/p>\n

The video card has a $25 rebate, not counted, since Gigabyte is not very good at fulfilling rebates. The card was installed later, so I’m able to report that the Intel HD Graphics 4000 produces a “Windows Experience” of 6.8\/7.9. Not too shabby for built-in graphics. With the video card, this system scores a 7.8\/7.9 – the “oh, so close” system. What was the 7.8? The CPU! I assume I could overclock it up to 7.9, but I would never leave it there.<\/p>\n
