Basically as you know i want too buid my own rig but ive worked out it is cheaper too buy off a prebuild site check these specs and tell me what you would rather do.

It doesent mention but the Case it comes with is a Thermal take Soprano and the Mobo is a M2NE-SLI, the monitor will probably be shoddy but i can always get another one, one of my main question is is the Graphics card better then the 1950 pro?

The site this is off is goldenelectronics.co.uk

With a home built pc your getting better qualitly and the knowledge on how to build one.. I myself don't trust prebuilt.

I have built PC's so many times before i do a Ipro course at college which is basically the qualification needed too be an IT technician so why would it matter, i see better specs on that site for a better price and it saves me the trouble if it doesent work.

Actualy your right i didnt bother reading any reviews the site seems a bit on the unrealiable side too be frank, it looks like im still going too build. :)

Ya a lot of places seems to sell what lookls like goods pc, but ya never know what types of parts they use.... I had a Dell once that was nothing put headaces, and one built for me that was put together with poor quality parts (had no knowledge before hand) So that is why I have and always will build my own... I drive Tractor Trailers for a living now, but in the future would rather stay home and buid pc for people...
