Hi all again. Well its the final decision time ive decided not to build my own pc and want the best so i dont have to update for about 4 years. This is the PC im thinking of ordering http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-175-OE&groupid=43&catid=2040&subcat=1270 with added 60GB SSD and windows 7 home.

People have said to me on here to get the I5 2500 but like i say i want it so you dont have to update in a while apart from the odd graphic cards. So be for i take the plunge and order this system for £1177.97p is this system worth it for games as well as editing software if you do a lot of editing. Like i say im not putting together my own system.

Also i no ive posted a lot lately but spending this kind of money needs to be the right system be for i buy.

Thanks in advance.
 
The only thing that is worrying me is the BSOD with the OC to 4.60ghz. I no the reviews say one phone call and it was sorted but it shouldnt hapen in the 1st place should it.?
 
well my build cost me so far £420.00
p8z68-v pro
2500k chip
h70 cooler
geil 4 gig black dragon mem

which not bad price add ssd drive and case +psu if you shop around i would say total £800 give and take
i would shop around
 
Just read them, thats a lot of comments about BSOD's, but you hardly see anyone these days saying that everything is perfect and working as it should, its only when theres issues do you see people speaking up.

Ummm, nothing
 
 
it only says if you want minor changes they would do it.

Oh no im back to square 1 again lol.

I no im asking questions a lot but paying £1k is a lot of money and want to get it right this time.
 
Well, when you buy pre-builds you get what they give you. That's the thing.

You're substituting your right to micro-manage/select items for not having to do any of the work...

TBH that work's really not difficult, and other than the extreme OC it's not worth substituting your choice.
The system I'm using now was the first time I ever built a PC - it worked first time and I've have no issues in over a year. I even learned to put on a mild overclock!

I recommend you concider building one - I really think you'll surprise yourself with how easy it is!

100% positive you don't want to assemble yourself? not even using a OCUK overclocked bundle?

eeek lol.

What mother board would you exactly put in if you was buying one today. I can allways send another email asking i want that pc but with this mother board etc. They can always say yes or no. :D
 
Any of the four I linked too, personally would prefer the Asrock as it comes with a USB3.0 3.5" bay box that gives two more ports for the front of the case.
 
If you played with Lego as a kid u can build a pc!.
It's really easy to build one and there nothing can go wrong as long as you read up on it as well..
I don't mind helping if your local to me, Im Based in Essex.
