Right, my family has been planning on getting a new PC for about half a year now and every time I think I've sorted it it ends up being another week, then another, then another. Finally, I think I've won my dad over (yes, it's not me buying this) to getting a gaming PC. We're going prebuilt due to the hassle free nature, and simply because he doesn't trust me one bit when it comes to building... 
We were settled on this:
• Intel Core i5-2500K (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor @4.5GHz (2600k offer anywhere?)
• Corsair H80 Water-Cooling CPU Cooler (Overkill?)
• MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 Twin FrozR II OC 2048MB (580GTX offer anywhere?)
• 8GB Mushkin Blackline DDR3 1600MHz
• Crucial m4 64GB SSD (With Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit SP1 Operating System)
• 1TB Seagate Barracuda SATA III Hard Drive
• MSI Z68A-GD55-G3 Intel Z68 (REV B3) PCI-Express Motherboard
• 750W Corsair TX750 V2 ATX2.3 SLI/Crossfire Compliant Power Supply
• Corsair Carbide 500R Black Midi Tower Chassis
• Sony SH-S222AB/BEBE DVD ReWriter
Total around £1090 From another company who's name I cannot disclose.
They have a good reputation and sell reliable builds...
but I'm still wondering whether OCUK is a better bet, due to their speedy service and generally supportive community.
Can anyone find a similar deal here? If so does anyone have any experience with it? Time is of the essence here so please be quick. (1080p Monitor and Mouse&Keyboard included would be even better, maybe even a 2600k for rendering benefits)
Thanks a lot,
James
