    Source 340 chassis has no front intake
    The S340 does have 2x 120mm fan intakes. However, what I assume you mean is Cyberpower have not installed any front intake fans.

    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.

    Ah, yeah, missed the wireless AIB as it wasn't listed on page 2. As for the other stuff, I did say you can buy 'the parts for the exact same system'. 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.

    Re: Cyberpower Infinity Hercules Pro

    If I was going for a mid-range gaming system, there is no way I'd go Intel, it just doesn't make sense. AMD is a way better choice for a more budget-orientated middle of the road build.

    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.

    Personally if I was building this for someone I'd save em £100 and put AMD CPU in, and swap those drives for a 2TB SSHD for same price

    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.
