Problem is, my shit has A10 and he starts talking about his i5 shit.
As for the link Wrath posted, do you think for the parts that the price is good?

u get the ssd though which is key, take a hard drive from old laptop, desktop whatever or buy 500gb for 30 bucks and u can get the os for free bro, this is a legit gaming computer, you can probably knock off at least $50 if you build it yourself

this computer will rip too but the 7770 gpu is not as fast as the 660 and it is going to be significantly less responsive with the 7200rpm hard drive

Are there any CyberPowerPC Gaming rigs from Future Shop that have wifi cards? My room doesn't have any ethernet ports in it so a wifi card is best for me. I know I can get an external wi-fi adapter but an internal one is better :3.
Also, do you know if the computer you listed from FS (here) includes Microsoft Office? I need this for school as well...
What do you think of this computer:

Sorry for all these questions, but I want to pick the right one for my budget and my needs.
One more :3.
How loud will these rigs run when gaming (CS:GO)?

Fuck that's a gigantic cable.
I had a feeling the Future Shop rep was bullshitting me when I asked him if Windows 8 ran good with quad-core processors like the A10. He went on ranting about the i5 and how it was good for gaming >.>.
The link you gave me seems to be killing it a little bit.. as in like overkill. Liquid cooling, wicked case, jeezus..
What would you rate the default settings at $700~ on a scale of 1-100? Remember that it has to last at least 2 years of gaming on weekends and daily usage.

Unless you plan on doing simple things for the office, school, college, under no circumstances should you let anyone sell you an APU, even worse with Windows 8. AMD for gaming, go with the FX series, all the way!

The link IS OverKill, it's supposed to surpass your recommended needs, so you can be certain that you can run the next generation's games, such as the new Call of Duty, new orgasm that Bioware/Bethesda/Activision/Disney *LOL comes out with. I'd rate it near the high 80-90s, as when you move past the recommended limits, you tend to venture into territories that are truly meant for the nerds and insane technicians. If you don't plan to mess with OverClocking, et centra, that kind of stuff, then the bare necessities, will fix you.

I'll post a build I made on that site, since you seem to be unfamiliar with building one yourself, which is the best bang for the buck, as well as teh highest in sheer power.

Here is my Desktop's current Build, with Newegg Item numbers if you want to look them up, it's the numbers on the left:

11-147-010 CASE ROSEWILL|R103A BK RT
13-130-679 MB MSI|970A-G43 AMD970 950 AM3+ R
14-102-994 VGA SAPPHIRE|100323-2L HD6570 1G R
19-103-871 CPU AMD|ATH II X4 640 3.0G AM3 R
20-233-385 MEM 8G|CORSAIR CMX8GX3M1A1600C11 R
22-236-339 HDD 1T|WD WD10EZEX SATA6G %
27-136-259 DVD BURN LG | GH24NS95 %

All just under $300, due to a Shell-Shocker sale.

Here's where I want to go.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148543
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125447

Long way away, but maybe I'll get there, and it's still under the $1000 tier, hell, even possibly less than $500, if you time it right.

Now, all of this junk, get's me nearly 60 FPS on almost all Source Games, CS:GO notwithstanding, and about...eh, 40-50 on Crysis. How long they'll last? Oh, way more than two years. Now, since NewEgg doesn't have the pre-built option yet, where they can build the PC for you, I recommended CyberPower due to having that ability. Here's a pretty basic PC, with all the flair taken off, from CP. (Since the Copy Pasta would dwarf the post, I made a PDF at the end.) Bear in mind that this build, has no OS, no Keyboard/Mouse, and only the interiors have been upgraded just a bit, to ensure long lasting stuffs. It runs near the $759 range, which I remember you stating you had a budget of $1000 - $800, this should fit the bill, if not, I can make a different build. Be aware that a LOT of these parts might have rebates attached to them...more bang for the buck.
