Hello I am Lachlan from Sydney, Australia and I was wondering if anyone can help me?
I am going to buy a new computer soon and I have all the system specs, but I was wondering if my FTB will still lag on it.
Here are my system specs:

I am getting all this for roughly $700.
My 3 questions are:
Will my FTB lag?
Is it a rip off?
Can I get a better deal for a lower price and better quality?

Thanks,

I've only quickly browsed through your system and 2 main things spring to mind:

1. IMHO, you'd best invest a little more money in a heavier power supply. Trust me when I say I speak from experience, it's really no fun finding out your system's a medium to high end system with a lower end power supply. I'd get a minimum 500w power supply by a decent manufacturer (Seasonic or so). They provide very good, affordable power supplies that will last you a long time and hardly ever fail.

2. I'd invest a few bucks in a 128Gb SSD if I were you. The speed they provide during startup and running games is simply astounding.

Again, this is just my thoughts but on the whole I think you're looking at a pretty decent system.
