Intel i7 920 DIY Combo@scan --- £563.49

Voted hot on this, it seems good value for those who aren't particular on specific parts and manufacturers.

Can't see what the video card is, or is it me?

Good point...appears to be no onboard video with the motherboard

HDD is slowwwww 5400rpm jobby.

PSU.. Sounds like cheapy rubbish, wouldn't trust it tbh.

I think you're better off buying something in the guise of AMD at this budget. Most of the performance but a lot more money for quality parts like the PSU and case..

Each to their own though, not voting.

Best of making your own set-up.

MSI X58M, Intel X58, 1366, 2xPCI-E 2.0(x16) SLI.
Storm psu is pretty good.
HDD 5400 is pretty slow on an ide port but ok on sata/3Gb/s
TBH AMD cannot touch the i7.
nice deal imo.

Agree with the above comments TBH. That power supply is cheap and probably the max output is more around 350-400w. Most budget ones will just blow up when pushed anywhere near the range they state it is.
The Godspeed case is expensive. And personally I'd rather cut corners with things like the case and focus more on the performance. On top of that you'll need to buy a GPU.

The Scan bundles are good as you do save quite a lot...i'm assuming £50 with this one. But I don't think I'd get one again. The one I got had incompatible memory + motherboard (ram was too fast and the mobo needed to be overclocked - and it couldn't handle it), which was their fault. Yet they refunded me the discount price of the motherboard and then refused to give me the same discount on the (£10 more expensive) board I needed. Not only that but the bundle came with no kettle lead or sata cables (I think it's my complaint that made them add sata cables to the mix).

These will come down further soon, i just ordered a new I7 950 from dell, the full works costing loads..... Then the i9 was announced >.>

Stop your ill informed scaremongering nonsense!!
A PSU is very unlikely to 'blow up' if it is pushed beyond it's capabilities not unless it is left in this overloaded state for a significant amount of time!!
This again is VERY unlikely to happen unless you like working with a computer that is completely unstable i.e a PC that keeps on crashing and restarting

When more current than that of which can be supplied is demanded the PSU's output voltage simply drops (current & Potential Difference (aka Voltage) are inversely proportional)
Once the voltage drops below spec it causes the computer to crash!
No bangs, No fire, No house burning down
Obviously damage can occur to the PSU if you leave it running in this cycle for a significant amount of time, but as I said above only an idiot would do this!!
Simply identify that the PSU is not powerful enough as the fault (by swapping out for more powerful PSU and observing the PC become stable) and save the old PSU for a less current heavy rig!

Obviously this is being sold as a package and unless you start chucking in DUAL top range GFX cards and other high current draw components then I am pretty confident that the supplied PSU is more than up to the job!!

Also I don't quite understand how the 'RAM was too fast' ???
You do realize that RAM can be run at speeds lower than that of which it is rated!!
I could happily place 1066Mhz RAM into a mobo that only supports 800Mhz RAM and it would simply and happily just run at 800Mhz rather than 1066Mhz!

THE OP has failed to offer a specific benefit for this combo ?

Who is this cocktail of components aimed at ?

What is overclock potential , any links to performance with this HSF?

Why lets someone else choose your config for you ?

No one knows my needs better tahn I, so why lose your only real edge to
a money saving third party >?

If I am gonna screw up a handbuild , I dont need your help .

COCO

And breathe.

Leftfield and I should COCO had a tough day at work I think.

Anyone wanting the i7 rig would want to specify their own components, this is a deal without a customer base (imho).

rubbish deal.........over priced for what it is worth and no graphics card?

I'd rather build my own
