just because the cables are too short doesent mean that £64 is bad price, or that its crap lol

(Although *ahem* the cpu cable, motherboard cable, graphics card cables, and all of the other cables, are too short to be convenient, however I managed to route all of the cables round the back except the pci-e cables and the cpu cable, but they look quite tidy how I have them anyway )

Also if when you said 'bad' you meant bag, I couldent agree more I use it as my pencil case for college

Of course it means it's crap :confused:

When you can get something much better for the same amount of money... that makes it crap. It's also an OCZ, which aren't the greatest anyway.

Why would he want to pay for something that only does half the job, when he can save cash! AND get a better product.

I did mean bag... my bad

(See what I did there

)

But. But. £64 for 700w of branded semi useful modularity is still good imo

And yeah

*edit* or it at least seemed like a good deal before the abundance of swearing when I realised that cable after cable was too short haha

Intels are better... significant enough for you

Buchanan0204 · 20 Sep 2011 at 01:59

Check this out.

Top of the range AMD vs the 2600K from Intel.

I agree that the Intel is better but look at the price difference - that's quite a chunk of change. For me, the performance gained isn't worth the extra £50.

Compare it to a 2500K then... around 20 quid more!

Far superior and well worth the money!
