Oh if you're wondering about the Amazon I was seeing if it would be cheaper to buy them from Amazon and put together myself. It's not.

Seems like a pretty decent deal.

Really depends on what you want to do with it. For gaming, AMD sucks -- get an Intel processor, preferrably a Sandy Bridge one.

Also, stock coolers suck and are extremely loud, especially AMD ones.

@previous (ltamake !!onnLC5KY8)

I'd like to be able to play Skyrim on like middlish settings, and all the Intel things on that site are well more expensive, £590 is pushing it as it is.
