I know u guys were raging on my last post about the crappy power supply. Well I have found a new PC with windows and HDD and SSD combo (motherboard is a genuine SLI Gigabyte motherboard).
All these things are key to a good gaming pc ( and of course the GPU which this one is a 780 TI)
Check it out: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Z87X-i7-4770K-Quad-Core-GTX-780-Ti-16GB-240GB-SSD-2TB-Gaming-Pc-Computer-WIN-8-/390832683961?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopPCs&hash=item5aff717bb9
Would like too hear your thoughts !

+1 although getting cheaper RAM such as the Corsair Vengeance series wouldn't really matter except for the RAM speed. Two quids is probably worth the extra RAM speeds anyway; you have a solid build in my opinion.

Not seen the other thread you've referred to, but the PSU in that config is too weak IMO.
I also don't like the way they don't clearly state which models of SSD and 2TB HDD are included.
And pity it's Win8. 😉

Have you tried pricing up your own build using one of the reasonable Z97 boards, 4790K, etc.?
Is that eBay system really so much of a decent deal?

Ian.
