    The link to the gladiatorcomputer one is pretty darn good value its got a C2D a x1900XT (good high end card).
    Dont know about ram, or motherboard but im sure you good get a little overclock out of it and the E6300 on stock is pretty fast, your gonna be missing the fun of building your own system and will not get as good overclock out of it..
    Anyway what Resolutions you gonna be playing at, because in my opinion if you are gonna spend £600, i would probly go with my setup and spend a tad more on ram/GPU the OCZ Modsteam 520W is modular peaks at 620Watts and is very good value for money.

    i dont think that i do want to overclock it much as its gonna make the price quite a bit more which i dont really have the money for at the moment, the motherboard i mentioned for £80 is there any for cheaper that would do the trick.

    Edit: Didn't see your last post. The Gladiator has a better graphics card but the ram is probably terrible as is the motherboard. However, if you cant be bothered to build it the gladiator might be your best bet. Just remember that you wont get a very good overclock out of it
    i looked at the samsung but its only an 8mb cache as apposed to a 16mb


    just out of interest why wont the ASUS P5V-VM DH be any good for overclocking, and also will i get a substantial boost if i overclock it or is it just not worth it. i have never overclocked before fyi, so am not the most technical minded about it.

    does anyone know if the ASUS P5LD2-VM SE is any good.
