The 750W Power supply was purposely over-specified as the user stated that they wanted to have the option to SLI the graphics card in the future. To enable the operating system to be installed on a separate disk drive, two disk drives where included in the order opposed to partitioning one for data security reasons. The i5 2500K processor was chosen due to its overclocking potential and its proven performance abilities shown in benchmarks.

User already had their own Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers & Windows 7 License. Thermal paste wasn’t required due to pre-application on the CPU cooler.
