A brilliant gaming machine that can run anything you throw at it. Tested Crysis on very high settings with 16xAA was must of been getting only 15FPS at the lowest point. Set up was my only trouble with this machine, because the HDD is in a RAID and the Motherboard wasn't installed, for someone like me who didn't know a lot about hardware I had a lot of trouble installing windows, my friend managed to get everything working but only by removing the RAID, leaving me with 2 split HDDs of around 480GBs. I did some benchmark tests including windows benchmark and everything other than the HDD which scored a 5, came back a 7 or higher (on a scale of 1-7.9) and after playing crysis and checking PC wizard the components where still nice and cool. Overall I would recommend this PC to anyone who knows their stuff about hardware (in case of risky set up) and is looking for a nice high end gaming PC. Two things to note is that it was originally advertised with a free copy of Battlefield 3 how ever once I revived my PC they had removed the offer from the site. Also this PC came with a 750W PSU, more than was described and an Intel stock CPU cooler.

The best PC I have ever had, can pre-installed with Windows 7 and runs absolutely brilliant. Been playing starwars The Old Republic on it, on full settings and not even the tiniest bit of lag, the graphics are amazing. Plenty of Ram, tons of HD and a great graphics card. And best of all...Novatech delivered it overnight for free. Excellent.

Very happy with this, purchased it about 5 months ago now and had no problems. Runs all games at the highest settings with decent fps and also renders out HD video at a nice speed. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a fast PC for gaming and video production/editing.

The best pc that I have ever had does all that I wanted it to do and more, I would recommend this to anyone.

A bloody good piece of hardware, great value for the money. Systems gets the following rating for Windows 7 experience (scale of 1.0 to 7.9): Processor: 7.6 Memory (RAM): 7.6 Graphics: 7.8 Gaming graphics: 7.8 Primary hard disk: 5.9 I have my system on dual boot, it handles both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10 brilliantly. It is packed with handy features and enough resources to run Virtual Machines: Intel i7 processor, in conjunction with HyperThreading technology, gives it enough cores to share among VMs, Intel VT-x technology allows you to use the CPU resources efficiently, 8GB of RAM is enough to distribute it among guest, big storage allows you to create fix-sized VM images to enhance performance. Runs two guests (Windows XP and Ubuntu 11.10 - server) with no impact on the performance on any of the guests or the Windows 7 host. Also a brilliant box for gaming: runs Battlefield 3 smoothly with high details at 1920 x 1080 resolution. Motherboard gives you some options to expand (unused USB connectors available) or to connect legacy devices (unused serial and parallel connectors also available). Unfortunately, the double-sized GFX card blocks other PCI-e slot so there is no way to connect any additional PCI-e devices (I have ordered one of those with my desktop and got quite disappointed when I discovered that I can't install it - hence just 4, not 5, stars). A great deal if you are looking for a powerful PC and you are on a budget.
