Scan Computers lets loose a high-performance Haswell gaming rig.
£1200 for a PC with Corsairs budget range Case and water cooler, and only a 600W PSU....err,no thanks.
Yes I do find it funny how Hexus regard an H60 as unprecedented cooling. I know they want to make a big deal out of the Haswell heat output, but really an H60 is no more powerful than a decent air cooler.
Whilst I kind of agree, it's the only way they could possibly have hit the price point. The 600W PSU wouldn't bother me unless I planned to add another 770, they could probably have even gotten away with a 500W unit but I think they made the right call.Quote:

Not a bad price. My basket comes to 1178 inc vat and thats without their 2 year warranty...

I'm curious how you think £1,200 bad when as the review points out the parts cost £1,195?Quote:

I'm not having a bad day, they just blew the budget in areas that don't interest me..GPU,SSD.
I've just configured it on their page to how I'd like it, and it came to £1166.
Fractal R4
Asus Pro Mobo
Corsair Hi80
Corsair 850w
16GB Ram
1TB primary, 2TB secondary Hdrives
Nvidia Geforce 660
Windows 7 64bit
The changes I made will last far longer and give better long term value than a quickly out of date GPU and (still unreliable) SSD's.
..just a question of peoples priorities thats all.
Hi Bagpuss,
Its great that you found our site flexible enough to get the system configured how you'd like it :) all solid component choices btw. I have a Fractal R3 myself great chassis.
Personally id never have another system without an SSD, and imo a 120GB is a little on the small side hence the 250GB.
Cheers
Well I must say the new prossesors and GPUs coming out lately really wanna build a new system had mine for 6 yes now never let me down amd3800x2 at 2.4 stock cooler lol a8n ski premium 2gb of blazing fast DDR 333 and 8800gts but I must say for a old system it never skips a beat lost interest in building systems last few yr with kids and stuff but I am interested the new Goody's that's coming put
