2.6ghz and 5750 =/= real computer.

If you weren't such a troll, I might believe you. But what should I expect from someone that buys 3rd party videogame controllers? And a Radeon HD 5750 is a great graphics card, especially with a gig of dedicated memory. So until you actually have a well thought out post to share with us, I kindly ask you to be quiet.

I see that you are willing to accept not so well thought posts if they are positive about your purchase.

2.6hgz processor is slow for games and you don't need 6 cores for virtually any games now and for a long time.

5750 is not a good gpu. With 1440x900 resolution, you won't get any advantage over the 512mb model. For higher resolutions, 5750 is way too slow. Even with 1440x900, you will not get 75(your likely refresh rate?) fps for any modern games.

Also you paid waaaayyy too much for that package. I think you just bought a prebuild acer or something.

 

You could have had a 3.5ghz quad core, 8gb 1333mhz ram, 2tb HDD, GF 560ti  and a good case/power ( oem W7 home)  for the money you spent on that.

Where exactly are you getting he can get all that for $700?  For solely the cpu, ram, hard drive, gpu, and windows 7 on newegg is $730 already if you were to build the computer, which is generally cheaper.  You then still have to buy the mobo, power supply, case, and any other necessary supplies for making a computer.

Also, completely unrelated, but since you know about computers (or seem to), is there a way to tell if/when turbo boost is activated on my i7 on my laptop?
