Hello, for sale is my former desktop. I personally built this workstation.

**•**  **Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy-Bridge Processor clocked at 3.1 GHz**  
_with a Cooler Master 212 cooler on the Processor_

**• ASRock Z77 Extreme6 LGA 1155 Motherboard**  
 _Intel Z77 Chipset, HDMI, DVI, eSATA, USB 3, (4) SATA 3Gb/s, (4) SATA 6Gb/s, Broadcom GbE LAN, HDMI Out, Realtek 8 Ch. Audio_

**•** **16GB (4) x 4GB of G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Memory**

**• 2GB EVGA GeForce GTX560 PCIe 2.0 Graphics Card**  
_Mini HDMI, (2) x DVI Out_

**•**  **120GB Intel 520 Cherryville SSD**  
 _SATA 6Gb/s Native, configured on one of the SATA 6Gb/s ports_

**• 2TB RAID 0 - (2) x 1TB Western Digital Blue WD10EZ in RAID 0**  
_SATA 6Gb/s Native, configured on two of the SATA 3Gb/s ports_

**• (2) x SATA DVD+/-RW Drives**  
 _SATA 3Gb/s Native, configured on two of the SATA 3Gb/s ports_

**• OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W Modular Power Supply**

**•**  **Cooler Master HAF 922 Case**  
_Two USB 3.0, 200mm Front and Top Fans, 120mm Rear Fan, Black Interior_

**•**  **Genuine Windows 8 Professional License**  
 _Purchased from Microsoft/Digital River online store when Windows 8 first came out. You will receive a printed copy of the Digital River receipt, a DVD copy of the install media, and the Product Key._

When building a workstation, I am a firm believer in good air flow thanks to proper cable management. The inside of this computer is neat and presentable. Cooling is excellent, no components have ever or will ever overheat. Video games play excellent on this workstation. This PC has powered a 27" IPS running at its native resolution of 1920x1080, games played great! Besides being a great Gaming PC, this workstation does a great job at running multiple virtual machines and video/photo editing. I have ran three to four virtual machines at once with VMWare Workstation 10 as a test environment without any problems. The virtual machines ran great and the host OS still had plenty of “legroom” to stretch out.

The 120GB SSD for your OS and essential applications, then a 2TB RAID 0 for games/storage is a phenomenal combination. I generally installed all games to the 2TB RAID and game performance was outstanding. Each one of these Western Digital Blue WD10EX 1TB drives are single platter drives. They are actually faster than many of the Western Digital Black 1TB drives, many of those use multiple platters. RAIDed together, then an SSD… great gaming combination.

As previously mentioned, the operating system is 100% legal and legit. No halfbaked, Torrent/Newsgroup, or pirated copies here. Windows 8 Professional x64 was purchased from Microsoft/Digital River store when Windows 8 was released. The operating system will be freshly installed with all necessary drivers and updates. You will receive a printout of the receipt from Digital River with the Product Key and a DVD copy of the install media.

One slight issue. At times, the top DVD burner tray will not eject. If you press the button a couple more times… it’ll eject. It never bothered me much, the drive works just fine. Besides the PC, I will also include all of the original motherboard, processor, graphics card, SSD boxes and CDs.

Thanks for looking and please ask if you have any questions. Thank you.

Some additional photos of the Windows System page and showing Classic Start installed which adds the Start Menu back to 8. Very usable OS with that installed.
