is this a good system for gaming and for the price, i know the CPU is pretty good and the GPU is a weaker version of a great card so i know about them already but what about the other components,the RAM, HD and Motherboard etc.? Please don;t include the 22inch monitor in your evaluation of the system coz it's nnot included as they seem to sell the same system that mentions the monitor in the title and lsiting and is £150 more. Thanks

    Anyone claiming to sell a computer running at 6.6GHz is living in cloud cuckoo land.

    The E6600 runs at 2.4GHz!!

    Having a Dual core processor doesn't mean you can simply double the speed of the machine (or more!!).

    45 Negatives or neutrals in the last Month!!

    I know he has lots of goods but I wouldn't go near it. Sounds as if you wont see anything for a Month after you win it.

    Without looking further, he is simply bluffing the description. The machine would be a decent enough unit if he described it accurately.

    If it were me, I would steer clear, spend some time reading the feedback.

    yeah, i knew about the 6.6Ghz claim being ridiculous, even 4.8 wouldn't be correct, hadn't looked at the recent negs (bit stupid of me) thanks, you think the same specs but self built or built by someoen more reputable would be good? any particular weak spots in it?
