Pre-built full system advice

I'm in the market for a new PC but not too fussed about building it from scratch.

A quick look through the Ultima range throws up the 9550i Tyrannosaur MK3 for £1670 but it doesn't specify the gfx card from the GRX680 range (unless I'm being blind). Are they all fairly similar in performance? Does it really make that much difference?

I'm assuming the overall performance of this system would be more than capable of running all current games to a reasonable level of quality?
(My knowledge of current components is somewhat limited; it's been over a decade since I built my last computer.)

I'd have to change the case too!

You can try asking in the customer service section as to which GTX680 to expect in that system.

As for its performance, it will eat games.

Thanks.

One more Q... do these things ship with the main chip cooler attached or is that something I need to pop on once it's delivered?

Might depend on the cooler. If you place your order over the phone you can get whatever customisation you need and answers to any questions

As above.

If its a closed loop water cooler then I think I remember I read somewhere they come attached as there is no weight on the CPU socket, if its an air cooler, then due to the weight and shipping you fit it yourself.

Again, another question for customer sevices.
