lol, forgot to update this each, bought a 2nd hand one off my mate, its in a big case with a side fan, mo-bo is hybrid sli XFX mobo, not PROPER SLI as i just found out, but comes with direct x 10 onboard graphics 8500 gt am2/am3 socket currently got a amd x2 5600 dual core erm, been told that it will take the quad core cpu too. Got an n-vidia 250 gts 512 in it and 4 gig of ram, with widows 7 64 bit got the lot for £250 :) just the pc only, no leads etc, but did come with Crysis, Gears of War and Universe at War.

Not a bad price I suppose, could do with a better GFX card though.

crysis mate, REALLY liked it :D runs ok on Very High settings , when things get REALLY hectic, lots of things coming in from the distance it drops to what i am guessing approx 25 fps, but still playable, idk tbh, might be 20 fps but still a LOT better than my old PC playyin L4D 1 on medium/low settings LOL :D

I changed about 3 things and dropped the price of that by £2k and my config is nicer than the "DREAM PC WINNER 2009" one that its supposed to be.
