This is basically my computer with a different video card(mine is deactivated, but was the same price). It overclocks well, the CPU is at 3.5 ghz now and its really stable. Everything works with both Linux and Windows, and the case is awesome.

My comments about my computer:

This is a resubmit of my build because it didn\’t get listed with prices. I unfortunately had to change the hard drive and optical drive since they got discontinued but even with the changes its still an awesome build for the price. This PC can handle what you throw at it without any significant problems.
