This bundle is one of the best I have ever seen for the value for money.
I don't like bundles myself because i'm a do it yourself type of person but for someone who isn't confident in building their own PC or overclocking and on a budget, this is definietly the bundle you should buy. All you need to do is add a PSU, case, HDD and GPU, something like the CM 690 II ADV a 6850, Samsung F3 1TB and a 500/600W PSU and for around £600 including the bundle you have yourself a decent little gaming rig.

You lucky Americans pay a lot less than us Brits for hardware plus you get mail in rebates and don't have to pay 20% tax, sometimes I hate being British
it shows how good value this is tbh as its the same price as the hardware would cost in the states once you remove the tax.
the aria bundles are so good i know i guy who is coming over to the uk from norway to get one because the hardware is that much more there he can travel and stay here, buy the parts and still save money

Really good performance, for a very good price. Great job by aria!
Just ask if you want to customize it.
If you phone them they will customize it but I think 4gb of ram will cost more than removing the heatsink and I'm not sure they would oc it as high on a stock cooler as they run stability tests before shipping the bundle.
Only way to know for sure would be to ask tho mate

Gonna go for this I think. The specs seem bang for buck! I just hope it's still on by the time the missus gets back(in a few weeks now :S). I will almost defo get this. What graphics card do you guys recommend getting? Looking for a nice card that will be good for some new games and not bottleneck because of mobo.
Cheers.

What's your budget? Will you go multi-monitor in the future?

After this I wouldn't have a budget as I would be waiting a little while to get a card. I've already ordered my desk, which cost just over £200. But I wouldn't wonna go above £200 tbh. But if the performance is a big one, go for it £300 max.
Thank you.

For £200 go for the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti SOC.

If you want to stretch it a little further then you can get yourself a 570...
