The last system on the page is actually not too bad. The one based on the E6600. Converted from Pounds to USD, here in the US, thats around $600 before taxes. You could of course spend less and get similar performance, but for what you get, thats not too bad. Normally I would advise against getting the 1GB in the x2 512 strips even though it's Dual channel. Normally I would advise 1GB+ strips. (2GB DC in x2 1GB strips is pretty much the standard now. 1GB of RAM is pretty much bare bones in itself) That mobo supports 8GB of DDR2-800 RAM. The P/S is a little on the weak side, but for a single video card, it would be fine.

Are you in the market for a new system?

Wow... I really need to pay closer attention to peoples original post. I didn't even see the above info in the quote. Sorry mate. As for the other systems that are listed, they are not that good. The only one worth anything is this one:

The E6300 is just simply better than anything else on that page. (Other than the other Core 2 Duo systems of course.)

Note that there's no graphics card included, you'll have to buy one separately. Also, the last 2 ones are the best deals IMO.

I was going to use my own card and use the ram from my current comp anyway.
