I was going to build another everyday PC, and wanted a 4th-gen i7. I was going to build one spec'd out with an i7-4770 and 16GB RAM. Cost would have been around $1200. Instead I bought an HP Envy Phoenix for $1049 with the same specs as what I planned to build. I retro-fitted an HP CPU liquid cooling system from a previous generation Phoenix for $70. This machine flies! The only weak spot is the video card, which is a GeForce GTX 645. It's still pretty good. The mobo is an MSI board with Intel Z87 chipset. It's a great setup, and would be good for most gamers on a budget.
