Seems like a good deal actually. The CPU and PSU seem like good quality material, and the graphics card is decent (although nothing special). As long as you don't want to run next-gen games in 8XAA you should easily be fine with that. I only skimmed it but he doesn't mention what brand the RAM is - probably not a massive concern but if it's in there and I missed it then feel free to look up if it's a reliable brand or not.

HD...I have bad experiences with WD but HD's are so cheap these days that it hardly matters. if this one croaks you can just buy a new one for 40 quid if you have to. :)

Only thing that I'm worried about at this point is how reliable is an ebay seller of assembled PC's. But I'm not very familiar with ebay so you may now that better than I do.

Post Re: Should I Spunk £400 On This?
yeah well my reasoning behind using ebay is that essentially i want ok pc for cheaps. Id settle with something similar to the last one i build for myself and then sold to ocram, after all, it would probably run skyrim ok and most other titles im on the lookout for.

The cpu is better cos the pc i built had a core 2 duo. Also, i compared the graphics cards and again this one seems alot better. At least according to the graphics card ranking website im looking at. Btw my old card was a radeon 4870 which is the same as yours ox afaik.

But yeah, ebay is ebay. A used pc is a used pc. Im looking for a good one for as cheaps as possible.

It was, now I'm on a gtx 560 ti which is only slightly better than this one

*e-peen on the table* haha

But yeah, doesn't seem like a bad deal. Only the Ebay thing is a problem I think, or at least it may be a problem.

Ox, that site is as blind as a bat. Your 560 outperforms the 275. Roughly 30-40% more frames in games.

Can I ask how you managed to spend less on it? Did it fall off a truck? ;)

Either way, I hate you haha!

hah...no .... it's because that link is going to an Amazon reseller that's buying the cards, marking them up, then selling them to idiots. :roll:
