Hi there


Following on from our new systems, here is a new thread with them all contained into one thread and as promised we are holding the incredible introductory pricing throughout THIS WEEK ONLY. This means these systems are cheaper than actually buying the components and building yourself, plus you get the overclock and excellent warranty support. On price these are truly unbeatable:-

Are these all "stuck" with a discontinued socket?

Yes but with a CPU that no one to play games and future coming games for years to come.

The I7 960 is a very very powerful CPU and the I7 980 is shockingly powerful.

Lets remember to go faster than these your talking 2600K Sandybridge or the new Intel X79 platform and its CPU's are going to be far far more expensive as will the motherboards.

Facts are people upgrade CPU's far less nowadays as there is little need for such quick processors, upgrades tend to be graphics cards, memory and HDD which these systems allow.
 
It's a Ssssnakepit in here!

Ultimately true. My old Core2Duo outdid 2 graphics cards :/

I don't plan on upgrading my 2600K for a good few years!
 
I have to agree with Gibbo here, for what it's worth most modern processors only really offer lower heat a power consumption, and with much more powerful coolers on the market its a no brainer.The performance will be nip and tuck for the average user. I have a sandy bridge CPU and tbh if I had the money i'd snap one of these up quick sharp as the 8 threads and extra cache you get would handle any game and be great for media encoding.

Depending on what PSU's they have?

Nonetheless, I think it's a very good idea selling these with the older socket processors in pre-builds because as mentioned, if your gaming, nowadays an older i5 is more than sufficient.

These will sell :]

Thanks for the reply Gibbo :)

The reason I ask is that I plan on building/buying a brand new machine before the year is out. I'm nowhere near deciding on what I'll be getting and the prices for the systems above seem great.

Would it be possible to get one of the above and in the future, swap out the motherboard and CPU for a Sandy/Ivy Bridge equivilent? Or would there be more to it than that? IMO, (and mine only), as top-notch as they are, I would feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot by not getting something with an upgrade path.

These CPU's will last you a fair time without the need to upgrade I reckon.

If you want the upgrade path though, then building your own would be wiser imo. If you are ever upgrading a mobo and a CPU, then to me, that is like a "new system" more than just an upgrade. So, if you want the ivybridge upgrade potential (and beyond) go with a self build :)

These are all using OCZ 650W - 750W ZS 80+ PSU's and as new graphics cards consume less power these units are more than enough future proof. :)

Thought it might not be intentional but was not sure considering your motoring history ;) It does look good though :D

Yeah did not realise it was the Shelby one, had something else pictured in my head, our marketing/graphics people are gonna change anyway or make their own. :)
