looking for new pc. Is this any good for the money

[Gilly]

as seen on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMD-QUAD-CORE-CROSSFIRE-GAMING-PC-2-GB-CROSSFIRE-GFX_W0QQitemZ260563800476QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Com puting_DesktopPCs?hash=item3caad0119c

not sure if this is any good for the money???? or can i do better by building myself (worth a laugh)

Personally I would build it yourself, I wouldnt buy one off Ebay. Yes the specs sound impressive, but thats exactly why they dont list the components.

£530.00

Overclockers have a similar gaming rig below
:- AMD Phenom II X2 Dual Core 555 Black Edition 3.20GHz
:- OCZ Obsidian 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 Dual Channel
:- Seagate 500GB Seagate 7200RPM Hard Drive
:- ATI Radeon 5770 1024MB Graphics Card

Neither come with an OS installed and in my view installing an OS and getting it all running sweet is a lot harder than taking your time, and reading up on the installation of the components. Some basic handling ie. earthing yourself before you touch anything, and being patient will reward you more.

If it was me building a entry level gaming pc, i'd buy the kit below.

Add a
Graphics card
Case and
Power supply
HD you require and you would have a pretty dar nice rig.

Or you could just buy this from OCuK CLICK HERE - £650.00 (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-237-OK)

:- Intel Core i3 530 2.93GHz Clarkdale overclocked to 4.00GHz!
:- Choice of the XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 or 5830 "AVP Edition" 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
:- Gigabyte H55M-UDH2 Intel H55 (Socket 1156) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
:- Geil Value 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
:- Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache SATA-II Hard Drive
:- Antec 300 Case with Alien Green case fans.

Which is all pretty good stuff.
