The S340 does have 2x 120mm fan intakes. However, what I assume you mean is Cyberpower have not installed any front intake fans.Quote:
Source 340 chassis has no front intake
Quick price check, you could buy the parts for the exact same system (apart from the ref. GPU is replaced with a Twin Frozr) for £729.58 + shipping. See parts list here http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/T2kvhM
Missing the "free" Wireless card, free next day shippping, and the 3yr warranty, and the cost for the prebuild, and pre-set overclocking. So not amazingly bad once you factor in those costs for £70. Card can be had for £15, so your then talking £55 for prebuild and pre-set overclocking, and shipping.Quote:

Overclocking, assembly and slower delivery aren't much of an issue for an enthusiast. I agree that it's a pretty good deal, I would absolutely pay £55 for a 3 year warranty on my computer and a guaranteed overclock.Quote:

This chipset I'd say is more suited for a higher end rig, I'd pair this chipset with a 970 and a QHD monitor.
But mid range implies you're not really wanting to splash the cash...£800 is most definitely splashio el cashio territory.
Also, 12gb RAM over 8, I find most new games push the limits with only 8.
Your price misses the PSU.Quote:

I thought all these £1000 systems, overclocked, with CXs were bad enough, but an £800 rig powered by a VS? And it's a 960, a 4430/4440/4460 (whichever is cheapest at the time) and an H97 are a much better match, cash saved lets you put in a decent PSU and an SSD with synchronous NAND at the very least.
