    Hey, this is my first post in this section, but I want to order a PC in the next week or two for Christmas.
    I have been messing about on Hardwareversande for a few weeks now.
    But today I found this: http://www3.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=46623&agid=1725

    Its a pre-built PC that they are selling, the specs are in German so if you can't be bothered to go to google translate here is a quick overview:

    i5 2500k Processor
    Asus P8P67 Motherboard
    2TB Samsung Hard drive (I think this is great considering how expensive hard drives are now)
    GTX 560Ti GPU
    8GB of DDR3 Ram
    530W PSU (Is this enough)

    I'd rather you look at the stats yourself as there is a lot more stuff there but I think those are the main ones.
    Also would this work with a HD TV? I see HDMI there but not sure if it TV-Out is right.

    Thanks, please reply ASAP as this goes on sale Friday and would like to order it before it sells out.

    Looks like a good machine. I'm not sure what it would come to if you bought the components yourself, but HWVS is usually good with prices like that.

    Only thing I've noticed: You might want to pick up an SSD as well if you can. That 2TB drive, while very good for what it is, is meant as a storage drive, not to house an operating system. You of course can, but it'll be slower than you'll like.

    If you can spare an extra €95...

    Yeah, don't know if I'd have the money for that yet, maybe in a month or two.
    A normal HDD will do for now :)
