branded psu's are better, seasonic, corsair etc. g0 stepping is a cooler and better overclocking chip.

2x2gb Geil black dragon £70.49

512MB Gainward 8800GT Bliss £158.61
Thermaltake VB1000SNS Soprano SuperMidi Tower - Silver £46.99

that seems a little low? I substituted a power supply. but still 550w
WTF?
CPU and graphics card.... £162 + £168... comes to bloody £320 already?
You got a pissed calculator mate? I just added all that up and it comes to £612.

I use Ebuyer alot because when they make a fuck up on the order (which they havent done for quite a while) I always get freebees when I moan to CS.
The best thing ive had with them so far is a box with a shit load of stuff that I had ordered, plus a 500gb Iomega hard drive which I didnt order
