Be the usual 12 month collect warranty as per all systems but we shall look at extended warranty options in the future.

Sounds good Gibbo. Nice work, can't wait for extra options and overly more 'customisable' for lower prices and I shall be buying 3 PC's shortly.

Not sure if it's been mentioned before, but under the 2nd graphics card selection, it says:

Add a second graphics card configured in SLI with your first graphics card. Please note the second graphics card has to be the same as the first you have selected.

It doesn't mention Crossfire, whether an ATI, or Nvidia GPU is selected.

Also, it allows you to put a system in the basket with 2 different gfx cards (I tried with an XFX 6970, and an OCUK 570).

There needs to be some more graphics and hardrive options and perhaps some overclock/soundproofing options, and more case's!!!

Apem · 21 Feb 2011 at 23:14

More choices on the mobos would be cool too

Code13 · 22 Feb 2011 at 01:32

Looks really good. I know gaming PCs are the most awesome, but perhaps in the future you could expand it to include low powered PCs from £150 upwards.

I shall have hours of fun doing this.

Thats probably because your looking at the AMD extreme system, obviously SLI is not supported on AMD's 890 chipset.

If you look at Intel systems they have both AMD and NVIDIA SLI/CROSSFIRE options.

Yes, precisely SLI is not supported by AMD motherboards, so why does it say SLI instead of Crossfire?

EDIT: Also under the Hard Drive section for AMD Extreme it says:

A larger hard disk drive can obviously allow you to store more files such as games, pictures, music, movies etc. Faster hard drives such as those spinning at 10,000RPM are able to load application quicker so you don't have to wait so long.

Yet no 10000rpm Hard Drives are listed.

Under Sound Card it says:

alive then upgrade to something like the Sound Blaster X-Fi

But all the sound cards are Asus Xonars

Edit2: Under Graphics cards:

If your looking to play games especially the latest titles such as Crysis

Crysis is what? Three and a bit years old. Not particularly the latest game. I would suggest something like, "If your looking to play games, especially graphically demanding titles such as Crysis,"

I also added two commas.

A few niggles to iron out as has been said, but a great feature none the less.

Gibbo · 22 Feb 2011 at 09:34

Hi there

The little niggles in grammar etc. I shall get our IT department to sort.

I've now added the following options:-

Onboard VGA Zero cost option for cheaper Intel and AMD PC's.
More cases added!
More motherboards added on certain PC's.
Akasa Card Readers made an option.

I am now looking at overclocking options, anything else just say and I shall look into it.

On SB systems could you add the Geil 8gig RAM option?
Seems like there's a big jump in price between 4gigs and 8gigs (£58), and the Geil 8gig option could lessen the gap a little.

Looking forward to Septembers student loan now, prob just buy one of these off the shelf, looking good Gibbo!

a £10er to jsut set up a raid? Bummer..
But that seems like a pretty damn sweet and simple way ot build a PC.
And also helps as a quick double check for normal builds.

wozza2k · 22 Feb 2011 at 10:10

You should eventually apply this method of selling to bundles for those who want to use different case options which aren't the usual cases

We actually discussed that this morning.

Will be several weeks though before an implementation if it happens.

Consider it done! But I shall add G.Skill option as well.

Sound proofing Gibbo...

Shall get some case mod options added, sound proofing, cathodes etc.

OVERCLOCKING OPTIONS NOW LIVE!

Am now working on the intelligence system so when you select the overclock it removes stock cooler for obvious reasons.

MooMoo444 · 22 Feb 2011 at 11:32

Great functionality, saves a lot of hassle of finding matching parts for the newbies =)

Ezah · 22 Feb 2011 at 12:07

I like this very much and will be using for my next rig.

Are you planning to add more watercooled options other than the H50/70 though?

A couple of WC bundles would be a great addition.

edit: you could add it as a case option if it makes it easier, such as the 800D you already have : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-023-OE&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=1489

cheers

shine · 22 Feb 2011 at 12:08

Could we add more SSD options please - like Intel and Crucial?

Edit: Oh and a no HDD option as well - I have a few HDD's I could reuse for some build/upgrades.

Tomcat825 · 22 Feb 2011 at 12:30

Great idea! Will sandybridge be included?

Also on the HDD section youtr missing the 's' from applicationS

"A larger hard disk drive can obviously allow you to store more files such as games, pictures, music, movies etc. Faster hard drives such as those spinning at 10,000RPM are able to load applications quicker so you don't have to wait so long. "
