Title says it all. Just want you guys to judge the following system a friend just assembled.


CPU: Phenom II X4 Black Edition ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808&name=Processors-Desktops )
GPU: GeForce GTX 560 Ti ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500196&name=Desktop-Graphics-Cards ) (Display has only 1360x765 pixels)
PSU: be quiet! L7-530W ( http://translate.google.de/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.technic3d.com%2Freview%2Fnetzteile%2F1255-netzteil-be-quiet-pure-power-bqt-l7-530w-im-test%2F1.htm%23start&act=url )
RAM: G.Skill 2x4GB Kit 1600 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314&name=Desktop-Memory )
SSD: OCZ Vertex 2 64GB ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227811&name=Internal-SSD )
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840&name=Internal-Hard-Drives )
MoBo: ASRock Fatal1ty ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157266&name=AMD-Motherboards )
Case: dunno, but something dirt cheap.

Criteria should be the quality, absolute performance and compatibility of the components, and of course the price/performance ratio. But not the absolute price.
Also rate how well rounded the build is. Are there any obvious bottlenecks, differences in quality or philosophy?
Any additional thoughts?

Bump.
Ex, rockz, SF, Lanth, Az? I know you have at least something to say about a component or 2, or even better about their interactions.

Anyone else is also invited to share insights.

Granted I've never tried any of these brands (or even heard of half of them), just based on the raw specs it looks pretty good. I have similar specs myself (recently added another 8GB RAM, to a total of 16GB) and it runs everything smoothly (running three EVE clients without any problems right now, but the FPS drops if I launch Minecraft on top of that ).

your post was hiding under already read stuffs.

GPU is the bottleneck, as always, on most games. when the CPU is the bottleneck, you're already getting massive fps. To avoid GPU bottlenecks you need to match an i3 with a gtx 680 or play on low resolutions with no AA.

Quality is great except for the vertex 2, which is overall abysmal by today's standards, and is made by a terrible company. Without knowing the real price paid, I can't make any judgement calls, but assuming average prices, the whole build seems to be okay.

The cpu/motherboard are of poor quality as well, since intel i3 outshines it in every way except multithreaded tasks, which the phenom barely wins. Assuming overclocking, the AMD clearly has an upper hand, but in terms of actual efficiency, buying an expensive motherboard to go along with an AMD cpu was a poor decision. A cheap non-overclockable i5 and cheap motherboard will beat the crap out of any amd processor except for a heavily overclocked bulldozer FX processor (due to 8 cores).
