Question about Computer Specs

THIS IS NOT AN IMMEDIATE BUYING QUESTION, more of an opinion.

I got some mail today from Maplin, who have some bundle deals on, and I was wondering what you guys make of it. I have scanned it in for you to read. I know that these do not have a HDD or ODD or SSD with them, but the parts that come with them, how good are they? Will they handle intense gaming?

Cheers for any help. (Sorry about large photos.)

None of those cheap parts are really any good and certainly not for 'intense gaming rigs'.

You'd be better off buying some of those parts individually and building something decent. The Z9 and Z11 and CX 750M are good parts, but the CX 750M is overkill. The i5 bundle looks all right

I would advise you build something yourself.

Not sure if you saw my edited response or not Ashley, but some of the parts look fairly decent - the more expensive ones.

I'd still advise that you buy the parts from Novatech and build something yourself though. If you're not going to be buying it for a while there's no point looking at parts to buy for this PC now because new stuff is coming out shortly.
 
I don't think they are 'deal'. Some of them are overpriced.
Most parts are ok, except CiT case and 780W PSU.
ignore amd athlon II x2 + CPU. it is old tech.
GT 610 for gaming?? are you kidding me??
 
Yeah they're nothing special. Just buy and build yourself. I get tired of companies that brag about "awesome gaming performance" when they're running mediocre GPU's at best.
 
I'd advise staying away from Maplin anyway... not a great shop to buy computer parts from. Not really a great shop to buying any electronics from either to be perfectly honest. You would be better off just buying the parts from Novatech or Overclockers and building it yourself. You know I like Novatech. ;)

Don't go to 121 Computers in Diss either (Ash will know where I'm talking about), they're overpriced as you know.

Companies like Maplin make these really quite mediocre PCs sound like amazing gaming rigs just so they can make some money. People who have no clue and are not prepared to research what they're buying are the people who waste their hard-earned cash on this stuff.
