Is this PC any good?

Mr_Man_6

Hi all

I'm looking to buy a PC predominately for gaming but also for all my multimedia needs (photos music etc).

I can't afford to spend any more that £1,500 but as good as possible for as cheap as possible. I was looking at the normal retailers when saw this PC on ebay I was hoping that any experts out there, could check it out and let me know if its any good. The spec looks good and the price is somewhat cheaper that the well know retailers for similar specs.

Are you crazy? £1200 on a PC?!!!!!!!! NO blooming way! I'd say about £500 maybe £600 if you build it yourself (BOX only no monitor). Any more than that is crazy talk.

Unless of course you've got real hardcore video editing etc.


But QuadCore? Really?????:eek: :eek: :eek:
