    For £215, this looks like a bargain.

    Considering it's C2D E4300, Vista Home Premium, reasonable graphics. If you already have a monitor, you're not going to get better for the money.

    My only caveat is the motherboard chipset, ideally you want this to be an Intel 965, but I think it's still worth a punt.

    Didnt know this processor existed. :o

    Seems great for overclocking and is no Celleron by any means.

    Apparently my girlfriend has managed to order one.

    I vote that PC World has the worst site ever!

    No, in a lot of the reviews i've seen it performs as well as the e6300s. It's a good chip.

    Thank to OP, great deal, could not build for anywhere near this price

    Just ordered one to replace my daughters 3 yr old Aldi Medion P4 Machine

    Bear in mind the graphics card is 256mb not 512 (the xtra 256 is nicked from system memory)!

    Still Superb Value

    The CPU Costs 100 Quid

    The Graphics Card is 50 Quid

    Memory is 40 Quid

    Case & MBD 50 Quid

    another 50 Quid for the other bits

    Thats 290 to build not including the Windows Vista Premium! or Warranty

    EXCELLENT DEAL
