Re: Quad Core PC - £699.99

Yeah, the GS cards are not much cop so add a couple of hundred for a decent one and sounds not bad. Although with these sort of systems you don't know what components elsewhere that they have used. Might be cheap ram, psu, motherboard etc etc.

Also, if I was spending £700 on a PC I would want a decent case, rather than that cheap looking one it comes with, but thats just my preference.
