Whats the total price?

£549 standard, but I customized it a bit, changed the GPU and case, comes to £580 inc VAT.

Looks like a pretty solid build to me.

It's a nice build and you don't need to upgrade probably in like 3 yrs or more if you take care of your PC right.

Do you have any information on the PSU? Above all else the PSU is the thing to make sure it's solid quality IMO.

£580 is a pretty good price for that, especially when that's VAT included (VAT is a ridiculously huge tax, btw). Comes out to $903 USD with VAT. Not bad at all for a pre-built.

Excellent, well thankyou for the advice, I look forward to 60fps raiding

Oh yeah, thanks for pointing that out, worth going with the Phenom II X4 955 instead of the 965 to put that cash towards a better PSU? (Would a 430w Corsair do the job here? - or am i going to need something more meaty)
