    Hey all

    My sister wants to buy a new desktop for playing World of warcraft and came to me for advice, her budget is €500. So I had a look on ocuk and saw this machine in the value section -

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-085-OK&groupid=43&catid=1078&subcat=
    - AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600 2.90GHz Dual Core CPU
    - Asus Vintage V3-M3N8200 Barebones System - AMD64 (Socket AM2)
    - Radeon hd 4670 gfx card
    - 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 800MHz DDR2 Dual Channel Kit
    - Hard Drive - 500gb
    - LG GH22NS40 22x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black)


    Price: £398.96 ex VAT
    (€433 inc 21% vat+ 50/60 delivery)

    Now I know a good few people here don't like ocuk and that they use irish vat as opposed to the english, but I have had all good experience with them over the past 3 years. Before I advise any purchase I just wanted to get your opinions in case there is something I have over looked. I am aware that there is no monitor or peripherals and I was thinking about trying my hand at building it myself but i currently don't have the time.

    thx
