Pre built systems

[Mortanto]

Just wondering what the pre built systems are like. I have built my own previously, will I get a better deal if I just built it my self again? I have around £650 - £750 budget (dont need monitor, peripherals or software)

You always get more for your money, if you build yourself.
What will be the main uses for the new system?

It going to be my new gaming rig, think I will build my self then. Was going to go for a full re-build.

Or you could remove the SSD, put in a 7950 over the 660 and a decent aftermarket cooler.

I would change your graphics card to this which comes with 3 free games and get a decent cpu cooler.

I was going to say i prefer ATI cards so is that an equivalent card? but thanks for your help think i might order later on

I bought a pre-built from OCUK and I have to say the build quaity and the wiring were of a much higher standard that I thought all the cables were neatly tied away and everything looked tidy in the box.

I'd certainly do it again if I were living in the UK.

I have heard great things of prebuild rigs from OCUK.
