GPU: 5/10 - 2GB on an HD4870 is fantastically pointless unless you're going to be running something that needs 2GB of video RAM (i.e. GTA4 on a 30" monitor, that's about the only thing that needs it - 24" or smaller monitor, you will never need that much memory, it's a waste of £50) My recommendation: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/1GB-...-850MHz-800-Cores-2x-DL-DVI-I-HDTV-HDCP-Ready (Sadly, ebuyer don't stock any decent 4890s) alternatively, wait for the HD5850 release early next month - get your pre-order in! RAM: 10/10 PSU: 1/10 - Poor quality, very likely to go bang and destroy some of your components. My recommendation: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/114945 HDD: 10/10 CPU: 10/10 Motherboard: 5/10 (maximum rating for Asus boards) - my recommendation: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173525 Case: 4/10 - A lower quality ripoff of some of today's hot cases, but unlike the NZXT Tempest and Antec 902 that it's a blatant ripoff of, those cases won't fall apart, this will. £63 is a lot to pay for a noname budget case like that, spend the extra £20 and get the genuine article: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144802 DVD: 10/10 No hard drive?
