The graphics card sucks big time and if the psu came with the case it's probably a very low quality item that could possibly take the rest of your pc with it if it failed. Apart from that it's not too bad.

I agree with the comment above though. The ATI 4850 is a far better card at a cheaper price.

the 9800gtx was £1.17, not saying where from but we got it earlier today
the PSU is corsair

I'm guessing he meant £117. If it is indeed £1.17 then my email is also in trust.

I agree, that doesn't sound right...

He probably part exchanged/sold his previous card then add £1.17 towards the new one.

rikesh your sig is too big btw 4 lines max only with each not exceeding 400 pixels in length.

We need some proof (order confirmation email would be nice) of this please.

Just censor out the personal data and post the pic.
