Definitely, it's priced to about $1,000 for a general good gaming pc. It's perfect for people on a budget that want to tap into the luxry of buying from Digital Storm. |

I've never seen that CM case before. Looks weird. Great value though!

I kinda like it. Not too fancy, not too boring. did DS use that case in the past or is that a new pickup just for this setup? |

The new i7 powered Gamer Blitzkrieg is a great bargin machine. You can argue that bargin hunters don't care, but I believe you should mention the output of the PSU. I also appreciate that you're trying to keep the price under $1100, but substituting a GTX 260 216 cores (at least as an option) would be worth the $50 price bump.

I agree with BTC, the only down fall of that system is the 250 GTX, otherwise its a great system for a great price and room to grow

I agree completely. As you can see, I use a 250 myself. At resolutions of 1280x980 or less, the GTS 250 is satisfactory, even for Crysis. However, the roughly 10% boost in frame rate that you'd get from the GTX 260 would give you a little extra cushion when things get really "busy". Edited by Bill the Cat - 25 Jun 2009 at 9:04am |

Upgrading to the GTX 260 would be too expensive for the price point we have set...
