Would you not prefer the 670 over the 7950?

stulid · 18 Aug 2012 at 12:41

I would but the price was £900 (with a 60GB SSD instead of the above 120GB)

The 7950 is still a very fast card, what resolution is your screen?

1920 × 1080 I also found prebuild gaming pcs with the what i listed above for 700 odd but ofc with the rubbish psu's easy change but somehow cheaper

Seems awfully cheap, I'd like to know where that's from or what some of the parts are exactly...

Prebuilt deal on post 10 can't be geniune. Sure price includes vat? Even exc vat still too good to be true for a prebuilt

keithfa26 · 19 Aug 2012 at 23:12

its a well known uk seller so 100% geniune but it dosent come with windows 7 and also has a rubbish psu so il be emailing them to change that also the case they provide isint the best so also will be changing that with them so that adds me up too 916 quid.

devious93 · 20 Aug 2012 at 09:58

Still can't seem to find anything of the likes apart from one on this Facebook group but they don't have a proper website to order from and are based in Malaysia xD

keithfa26 · 20 Aug 2012 at 21:46
