to be honest, I would be expecting i7 or phenom II for that price. don't get me wrong that spec will fly, but you could get that sort of performance for a lot less cash, or get more performance for the same price. but for shop bought that's pretty decent, surprised by the PSU and motherboard choice, they seem a little over the top to me.
 
ok thanks for you replies and opinions and yes i understand i could have had a little better system but i needed one yesterday so i just went ahead and brought it lol. It actually only came to 920. could you spec me a better system for that price to see what i could have had. thanks
 
Probably not a great idea asking what you could have had :p

Could definitely go i7 for that price, even include a cooler for overclocking and double the amount of ram. I'm guessing you already had the case.

What is the system being used for, size of monitor etc. At a guess, because of the SLi GTX260's. gaming and hopefully at least a 24" monitor?
 
yep, well it wasnt actually me who brought it im glad to say. my friend did. lol
but yes he brought it was 920 in total.
 
Is there a card that he could have brought for around the same amount which would have outperformed the 2 gtx 260's ?
