    Nicked from the BA forum, I'd normally do a bit of digging myself but this is time sensitive. :pac: Any opinions on the bargainosity of the offer below or the trustworthiness of the site? I'm going to be in the market for a decent gaming rig so I'd be tempted

    Scan themselves are good.
    However, that comes without a graphics card so you'd need to buy one. Processor is very good but the motherboard has a bug where you can only avail of some of the hard drive ports.
    I wouldn't go for the PSU and it also needs windows.

    I think you should start from scratch with your budget and requirements for recommendations.

    You'd also need another HDD, as the one they're listing is a 5400RPM variant, and would slow things down a little.

    Build your own.

    Not too worried about the gfx card, have a decent vocuher left over from christmas that will take care of most of that cost. Thought the sandy bridge fault was "fairly" benign. Windows sorted, PSU would be a worry though then. I'm not winding up with another windy PSU. :mad:
