Ok 1 problem the 8 core AMD processor you gave me runs at 3.0 Ghz where as the one from competitor at the same price is 8 cores and runs at 4.0 ghz and they both cost the same.

Why did you downgrade my Processor? Do you have the one competitor has?

Secondly the motherboard isnt as good it doesnt even have a crossfire option? (I may change my mind later) and yet its the same price as the competitor motehr broard.

Lastly seagate hard drives are they any good? They have been unreliable for me in the past I dont want to spend any extra on a HD but do you know of a particularly reliable make? Im sick of my HDrives failing on me with the click of death.

Finally the PSU says it covers quad core processor cooling but not 8 core, im buying an 8 core processor is it covered? So basically with the sunflower PSU its a 50 quid PSU but im getting it for 30-40 because of free delivery?

This is the 4ghz one

YOUR BASKET
1 x AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8350 Black Edition 4.00GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail £137.99
Total : £147.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).



Basically you're either going to have to spend a little more or not. You could get the one I speced and overclock it but ideally you need a diffrerent mobo for that.

I asked you about crossfiring and you said you will never upgrade this computer, just replace it when the time comes, so......

This competitor, are you sure you're seeing the price including tax?

The PSU will be fine! and Seagate are decent! Could be down to that potato power supply you've been using!

AMD FX 8350 Black Edition 8 Core Processor 4.00GHz Piledriver Socket AM3+ 106 b4 tax 128 after

I know I may upgrade it isnt likely so im not gonna buy a psu for it but at the same time i wouldnt mind the option being there on the mother board for no extra cost like at the competitor

I wont bother with overclocking I thought the processor overclocked itself these days with the "turbo" boost?

Ok if yous ay seagate are reliable I will believe you maybe it was the potatoe psu but i had a hitachi deskstar that last years and years despite the spud power and the sea gate ones burn out kinda fast giving you the click of death just at the worst possible time lol

I mean surely theres a middle ground between a 20 pound PSU and a 50 pound PSU surely there a 30 pound pSU withe the quality of a 50 pound PSU kicking around somewhere or with some kind of savings deal etc ?

It might not be, as you say "a 30 pound PSU withe the quality of a 50 pound PSU" but I reckon its a damn sight better than the naff one's you've been eyeballing.
