Thoughts on Ultima Vanquish

Hi all,

Have noticed this on special offer and thinking of taking the plunge, does anyone have any opinions on this system and whether it comes with a PSU, as it doesn't mention one in the components list.

Im sure it will come with a PSU, prob an OCZ model as most of their prebuilts seem to include them, it looks like a good deal, I noticed it earlier and was having a look, obviously you cant customise as much as your own build, which Id want to do myself, just a couple of small things like case and HDD, but overall it seems pretty good

It's pretty much between this and the Titan Goliath, and I'm unsure which one to go for atm

I'd be upgrading the GPU to a ATI 4870 1024MB

go for the ultima vanquish, better mobo, and a steal at the discounted price
Edit: & the D0 CPU as mp says, knew I meant to include more reasons it was better, lol

if the specs are written right i'd go for the vanquish as it has the d0 processor.
