Eh, 5

Cheapo-nasty Combat Power psu ruins it for me. No ssd and only a single 1TB hd, only 1 5850, only dual channel ram.

We've got threads for this btw, both here and in building and upgrading:

^^ haha youre harsh on the 5850( i only have 1 and an 8800GT :P ), but yeah, crappy PSU, CPU isint overclocked, using onboard sound, small storage and yep socket 1156 so no tripple channel mem and also that means SLI or Crossfire would run in x8 PCIE and im guessing the cooler is crappy as i havnt heard of it and googling it gives no reviews from the usual trusted sites.

As for the lack of SSD, hmm, dunno i wouldnt consider it a must have yet simply because with most theyre soo small you'll only get the OS and a few apps and games on them

Also why the need to state it has a cardreader? looks like an epen... thread
Its a standard buy it in the shops lower end of the mid range gaming rig

Nowt wrong with 5850, I'd gladly swap for one , its just if he's lookin for top marks he needs 2, a perfect 10 would have 2 , therefore he looses a point

You don't get more than 5.9 on the Windows Experience Index without an SSD so it deffo looses a point for this, I get 6.1 with raid raptors, I've not got my OS on the SSD yet


Heres a site of perfect 11's :pac:

haha, thats true, i wouldnt give anything a 10 unless it had 2x5970s or 3x485's( 3x5970 gains so little over 2 ), supercomputer mobo with 2x intel 980X 6 cores

Gah, i hate that stupid thing, wont even run for me on Win 7 since i reinstalled, and i hate it for the fact everything comes out top notch apart from drives, but yeah 2xSSD's in RAID are the way too go, 500Gigs a second, sweeetttt

Oh you have TrackIR, where'd you get it? im thinking of getting one, im more interested in experimenting with my setup now that nearly all games are ports so would love to try it in Arma 2 with my 3 screen setup( although im crying for another 5850 as i have to use medium settings in stuff again, arrgghh )

I got my trackir from the USA.....and got caught and charged by customs on import. If You buy, get it in UK/Germany, even if more expensive. There's one for trade here, brand new.

If You wanna try Arma, try the OA demo: http://www.gamershell.com/news_99356.html
If You buy the game be sure get the combined ops (Arma 2 and OA expansion):
