8/10

It does show you squeezed a bit of performance out of those components.

8.5/10 for Mussels still a kick ass gaming rig, no need to upgrade at all.

So instead of buying a completely new system from an etailer, I bought one from one of my friends instead, got to love mate rates.. it feels damn good to have a beastly desktop again ><

EDIT: @Techtu Fixed lol
