^^AVOID THAT SYSTEM AT ALL COSTS

That system is based on older first gen ( lynnfield ) cores. The components are obsolete including the availability of motherboards.
Don't even think of buying it pal.

If you want a system, then fill this *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-compon...new-pc-help-answer-these-questions-first.html

We will help you build the ideal system at your budget. :)



P.S - If you absolutely want to buy that, then something around 10k will do considering no warranty and lack of availability.
