CPU Question

Then again i just been looking around to see if i can find the bits cheaper to make THIS and i can't..

Looks like a good deal to me, What do you think?

I get your point though £300 does buy you quite a bit, I see there is a graphics card as well. Although the on board graphics with the Gigagbyte board is just as good, a dedicated card is probably better.

I think you might have convinced me 2 do it this way haha! i mean if i get unlock the CPU theres really no point in paying the extra for one already build and the same as one cheaper that i can have fun building myself.

With the on board graphics how good are they?

I mean im will they play almost any game without a problem?
 
Games like Call of duty black ops and half life?
 
Have a look here what they say about ATI Radeon HD4250 on board graphics
(which is on the gigabyte motherboard)

Yea seems ok but theres a few comments about it overheating.... What do you think?

I already been looking at Quiet PC .com for CPU cooling maybe they have something for that?
 
After having a look at the price of decent cooling gear - I must say that it would be cheaper to go with a dedicated graphics card.

The £300 PC looks more attractive, but I must caution you to read all the feedback for that trader, have a look at all the negative and neutral feedback and then decide if you want to buy from him.

For £44 more you should have a look at THIS and at least you have 12 month guarantee and a VERY reputable company.
