I am very happy with the components however ive also spec’d the exact same components from a different supplier priced at: All in at £937.62

Ive asked OC if they price match but they have said no, so what would the populous do pay the extra or save £57.40???

Welcome to the forums, unfortunately you can't go naming competitors here so you should edit it out of your original post.

The specification looks fine, about the only suggestion I could make to save money is to go for the Geil PC6400 which comes in at ~£10 less but is as well specified.

If you are happy with the service at the other shop then go there and save yourself some cash, if not buy here and accept that you are paying a bit extra for the peace of mind.

I'd always buy from the place I trust, have never had any problems with OCUK.
