What do you think of this?

My mate bought these like 4 maybe 5 months ago, some of them my recommendation, he needs the cash and will be selling.

I put to gether few things on OCuk to give an example, the watercooling kit is that sibrian tiger, i added another one to see price.

Whats your views on this system over i7 and he will be selling it about (roughtly) half the price,

6 months ago people were still buying quads anyway but with most new builds people are favouring the newer i7

Is he selling to put money towards an i7 system or just getting rid of it in general?

needs the cash i'm thinking of buying it all off him. its nice spec system.

When i buy a new mobo/cpu/ram i think like every one else, which is "i can upgrade to newer/faster CPU later but if a faster cpu comes out and i want it i upgrade the mobo too. so buying a i7 now where there is no massive impact (stuff that i have seen), quad with 12mb cache seems great especially since everything is high spec.

Cant see why it wouldnt perform well under stress tbh, nab it off him while youve got the chance
