Yeah its alrite altho you could have built better for less monies tbh. Should do the trick tho, its nothing special but itll suffice for watching films, p**n and lite gaming.

Yeah you can buy Blu-Ray drives for around £80+ but tbh for that kind of money there should be a Blu-Ray/DVD DL CD Writer (possibly HD-DVD) combo included at least

hope that was sarcasm, cause if it wasnt, "lite gaming" on a quad core 4gb 9600?!? lolz

well crysis will make it struggle on higher settings but it will make most systems struggle, but you'll find most things will run on it very nicely. OCing could see some nice gains, but you prob could have built it yourself for cheaper and with more power. That being said it's a good rig, especially for someone who doesn't know about pc's i would say.

Was a little bit yes, lite gaming tho, everything cept crysis. Mine plays everything cept crysis on full whack, itll only play crysis on High Settings with two or three settings on Dx10.

Yes that's right, what do you expect with a 9600?

 

[Final Maxim]

definatly not "lite gaming"

itll run nearly all games no problem apart from some of the weird titles which even the very best pcs struggle with

 

[iain187]

dunno why a fair amount of people seem to think that if it can't play crysis it's not that great

my PC is 'around half' the spec you have posted there and it can play fallout and the latest cod with no problem (on good looking settings) so with your spec you are laughing mate. good buy.
