Can anyone let me know if there would be any issues?

this.

could give them a ring and see if they will do a deal. that gpu upgrade option on the pre built system is a bit poor.

worth a try

phone them up and they will build you the system and put in the gpu of your choice. Or use the system builder option.

£650 delivered.

Specification

Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case

Intel Core I3 550 3.20GHz Dual Core Processor
Intel Stock Cooler (None overclocked systems)

Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H Intel H55 Mainboard

OcUK 24x DVD-RW Black

bare in mind im not after the ultimate in gaming just something very capable of playing games.
for example im sure this would run Crysis 1 at 1366X768 on max settings?

powelly · 26 Feb 2011 at 17:57

tbh i would stay of the I3 all together as its just dead money, i still think that if you gave it ago at building your own you would be much happier, but if you insist on prebuilt, what you speced would be fine, however bear in mind for £70 less you could get something a lot better and would be more future proof and you could even add a btter gfx card to make it the same price i.e a gtx 480! instead of a 460!

EDIT: tempting no? just image what would you go for?

1. i3 based system with os, 500gb and gtx 460 = £650
or
2. i5 sandy bridge system with os, gtx 460, 1tb and os = £660
