System Specs

Bad Points

The PSU is really crappy, can only just about handle the system but low power on most rails (it's getting changed out for a corsair unit on Friday )

The cooler is not great but at least its not horrendously noisy

No top fan 200 fan in the case

System ran like crap on Windows 8 (probably some weird driver conflict)

Good Points
It runs on Windows 7 like a champ

It's running all my games really smoothly and the graphics just look amazing in comparison to what I had on Xbox 360

The monitor is nice and gives real sharp, ghost free image

It came with a Fallout 3 bobblehead and a hitman statuette (Yay )

I think it's going to be a good clocking chip, I had it stable on prime at 4.7Ghz 1.36v for 2 hrs....just temps letting me down because of the cooler and worried about PSU

Motherboard is updated to latest bios and is Vishera ready, Bios is really nice and quick

I am in gaming heaven

Graphics card is dead silent, even in Crysis with 8xAA 1080p and BF3 Ultra 4xAA. Haven't tried ocing it yet, haven't needed to
PSU Sounds like a bummer, but all in all it sounds pretty sweet for £300 man, nice work and hope the PSU does you proud when it comes to it, those chips can OC nicely once you get a good aftermarket cooler. Sounds like you dont actually need to do a great deal to fulfill your needs, just keep her well fed on watts and nicely cooled
