    Pre Built?Yes

    How much have you got?

    Below xps 710,wont go for over €1200,the guy selling it,had it listed at €1250 for a week or two and no takers...You should get it for €1200 or under,good deal imo,class pc....

    http://cgi.ebay.ie/XPS-710-Quad-Core-2-66Ghz-QX6700-768Mb-8800GTX-2gb-RAM_W0QQitemZ180189739378QQihZ008QQcategoryZ179QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

    I actually know the below dealer

    My cousin got a pc off him 6 months ago,he's a top guy,very helpful,with any after sales help,with overclocking,should I get this card,can the psu support this etc....

    Pc hasnt given any bother and is super quiet,I would buy one of him myself,but couldnt live with myself for paying someone to build a pc for me,when I can do it myself....


    They come with a one year warranty and he includes windows vista,which overclockers,ankermann,komplett dont do....

    http://cgi.ebay.ie/NEW-QUAD-CORE-G0-Q6600-9-6GHZ-PC-NEW-8800GT-512mb-DX10_W0QQitemZ300177541961QQihZ020QQcategoryZ179QQcmdZViewItem

    Overclockers have some nice stuff but very expensive...

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-042-OK&groupid=43&catid=967&subcat=

    Komplett are a joke imo,€900 for a piece of crap,while Ankermann are good,but not the greatest...

    Im thinking of going with OverClockers they seem to be offering the closest machine im looking for, the 2nd link you gave me is good but it has a unfamiliar mobo and PSU so i dunno id rather not risk it.

    Do you know if Overclockers ship over here?

    Well if they do say no then its the hard task of convincing a PC store i know to go build me this system which is going to be alot of effort on both parts.... You'd think there would be more options available in this country

    Hmm i dunno you see id be the person who'd think that if they build it themselves theyll mess it up by putting everything on backwards. Would be a nice challenge but at this time of the year i just want something thats no hassle :P

    Everyone thought the same first time lol....If that store or overclockers dont do what you want,you should look into it,many great guides on the net and plenty of people here to help you out(even step by step)....

    Very satisfying feeling when windows boots up :)

    Well buying all the parts separately on OC sums up to 1,190 euro which isnt bad considering id be saving 400 quid! Might give it a go, will decide tomorrow when i ring the shop if not though i might go with OC
