"Powerful"

Listing needs more info, but looks okay. Reviews mention a Intel Core i7-4790 as the i7 which got for about £260 on their own. Wish companies would just leave the graphics card out completely if they're going to put **** like a 730 in. The 4790's integrated graphics probably does a similar job!

That graphics card won't allow for much gaming but it's not a bad deal.

"Powerful"

can someone edit post can't seem to from mobile thanks

Great deal for a i7 4790 and some other great specs, but with a gt 730 its certainly not a gaming PC

HOT

Any idea on PSU? If it'd handle a 480 on release I may be tempted here!

pair this with a 1070, would you get a good gaming pc?

looking at the graphic card i think "powerful gaming" should be removed from the title..

Why does a 4GB version of this card exist?

spec elsewhere from a search suggests "Power Supply: 350W silent power supply" - i.e. tiny no-name junk psu, probably need replacing to put a decent gpu in there :disappointed:

It's a German seller so just something to consider regarding after sales service, decent price for the specs and ignore the 'powerful gaming' statement, it's probably otherwise ok....but cheap case and psu etc.

Should be quite good once you've bought a new case, PSU, GPU, heatsink and SSD... :stuck_out_tongue:

yeah good deal, just not for gaming

You don't need an i7 for gaming so save £100 there and build it yourself using quality components, trust me it'll be worth it in the long run!

no you don't need 650W psu to run "decent" gpu. no single gpu (bar behemoths like 7990/Titan) would require that much power

To trick gullible fools who shop by buzzwords only.

"Price going up soon"....aye ok

"Powerful gaming pc!" :laughing:

Yeah built the thing recently to play Doom, but I just cant be bothered to play the game lol.

You don't technically need it, but a cheapo 400w unit is not worth the risk. The psu is the most important component, so give it 50% more power than you need, it will run cleaner/cooler/quieter and last a lot longer. Always spend £10 per 100w, minimum.

It is actually mate, im using this deal which brings the final vale fee down by alot. uts expires tonight.

So there.

A 500W PSU would be fine for this, and yeah its more about the quality of the PSU by now, since you want it to actually be able to do what it says without blowing up at any point.

Lol

The HUKD post got removed anyway, they couldn't get a cut of the money lol.

It's all about the hukd "picks" these days...

Indeed.

why put 'powerful' in the title when it isn't

Nice.

Very good price

Seems an odd mix of components to call it a gaming PC. Would be miles better off getting the 4690K and an actual decent graphics card.

Not that fussed about gaming, wondering how it would fare for moderate video editing.

Should be able to depending on the MOBO you might even be able to put a 1080.An SSD and maybe a MOBO depending on whats already there would be able to run many games on high>ultra(MOBO doesn't affect performance) I personally would change out the PSU if its an unbranded one or if i am upgrading things (may be 400w)

not sure why the price should go up, as it stands will be a task to sell it at this price

​thats the description on Amazon not mine

Very good cpu at over 10k benchmark and at this price would make for a good vm lab with 16gb ram to start off with. Add in some more disks and another 16gb ram and a decent home lab.

or for people who use photoshop. you could have 100s of layers on a high res image open to work with eating loads of vram with gpu acceleration but not need a powerful card, just lots of texture memory

You couldn't be more wrong. I am playing Pac man right now at 100fps

well, the cpu is OK...

​I have a gtx 650 it plays games

nice spec for the price

​
That's much better than this card though

​
Motherboard doesn't matter. It's got a pci express slot which is all you need.

No reviews left in over a year, that seems odd?

This CPU + that GPU have a combined TDP of ~235W so in total the whole system will struggle to pull more than 300W.

Amazon discount code:£10 - 30PRIMENOW is doesn't work !! do you have other code?

You would have to see how much space there is in the case and you will probably need to get a new power supply

What games do they play on a gt 730 ? scrabble HD ?

Any word on the PSU?

​The motherboard doesn't matter???? So the one thing that everything in the PC connects to and you think it doesn't matter.... Lol

The i7 and 16gb ram is good, gfx not great, can't imagine the motherboard, psu, or case being great quality.

Good if your on a budget and want a system that you can upgrade when your budget suits.

To make it good gaming pc you will need to put another 250-300ish for better psu and gfx.


Whatever you do don't scrimp on the psu....... Cheap psu,s are dangerous.

Best deal I have seen for a desktop for a while..

powerful gaming looool

*sigh* It worries me that people fall for these ads, voted cold that is nowhere near a 'powerful gaming PC', that will hardly run most games on medium settings due to its setback graphics card and outdated DDR3 RAM, the CPU is far too good for such a bad build.. please dont fall for this ad.

Good old Amazon and their generally unhelpfully brief technical details.

"Lithium Battery Weight 5 Grams"

I am not sure when considering whether to buy a PC or not, anyone has enquired how much the motherboard's cmos battery weighs? If anyone has the full specification for this one, it would be good know what's on offer, thanks.

powerful. yea

semi true.. PSUs are generally most efficient at 50% load, so if you game a lot, then 650w would be the way to go. However, best to check specs of any PSU and get a decent one, EVGA do the supanova g series with a 10 year warranty! (I have the supanova 850w myself)

A Gaming PC for slither.io

mostly true! nothing wrong with DDR3. No bottleneck whatsoever.

My view on this is it's actually quite a good deal. For the CPU, Case (if it is standard ATX) and Windows license alone. Graphics card definately has to go, probably the PSU too, motherboard should be ok as the CPU is Haswell. .Even on PCI-E 2x the 1070 would be ok. On the face of it smells like a good deal to me. However, the fact they put "powerful" and listed the gt 730 as 4096mb (the max is 2048 on this card) makes me wonder what else they might be lying about.

edit: the gt 730 is pci-e 2.0 - perhaps the mobo is too.

Was in search for a video editing pc on a budget.. But now having my doubts if this will any good.
Can anyone recommend a decent Machine?

I think there is a good chance it will be fine for video editing; good CPU & a decent amount of RAM. Adding an SSD might also help.

Cold, neither a gaming PC nor good value for money.
Sellers like CSL should be ashamed of themselves for marketing it in the way that they have done.
They exploit people that think CPU is everything, more ram is going to make it faster and that GPU's with more vram are better (regardless of model).

1. i7-4790 is a waste for a budget gaming build. You'd rather go i5 4690 or i5 6500/6600 or FX-8320 (or FX6300 if budget is really tight)
2. GT730 is crap and 4GB VRAM on that is wasteful. Should be looking at gtx 960 or R9-380 or R9-280X (or R7 370 if budget is really tight)
3. 16GB ram is again unnecessary, you only need 8GB.

You'd rather go for something like this:
http://www.freshtechsolutions.co.uk/amd-fx-6300-4-1ghz-1tb-8gb-1600mhz-r9-380-4gb-core-computer-gaming-pc.html

Not perfect by any means but a lot better for gaming than whats been offered by CSL. If you're comfortable building your own PC then that's even better because you can create a build that fits perfectly within your budget and use good quality parts, often times pre-built computers will use cheap components. You could even use pcpartpicker to prepare a build and pay some one local to assemble it. I've seen people offerring these services for £25-£50.

Does anyone know how much these parts make up on PC part picker

Just think of it as a good value desktop - not a gaming PC I agree.

16GB is useful for jobs such as video / picture editing.

Powerful for app/software development perhaps, but not gaming...

A very quick look comes to about £595
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/92ft6X

You could certainly make a better list as the motherboard I chose had 2 ram slots and I chose 4 x 4GB sticks just to get a rough price. I have a feeling this deal might be a price mistake but it;s been this price since January so says Camel3x

Not for gamers but could be ideal for video editing, image editing etc.... not every demanding user is a gamer after all.

​so you saying buy a less powerful machine for more money

there's not much difference in ddr3 and ddr4 ram currently... games don't take much advantage of DDR4 over DDR3. But the rest I agree with.

16GB of ram isn't unnecessary lmao, there are many games out there which really take advantage of ram. 16gb is standard for gaming nowadays.

Too Many people appear to be missing the point here...
It is a HELL of a lot of PC, for WHATEVER purpose you want it for!
It will Work in all areas, and it will play games MORE than adequately..
If people Could afford bigger PSUs, better Graphics cards, surely they wouldn't be looking at this...
It IS what it IS... It is a high spec (NOT cutting edge) All purpose PC that is more than capable of playing most games out there, and it is CHEAP with a 24 month warranty!
HOT HOT HOT!

​thanks for that lot of Pc snobs commenting
it is what it is

Spot on. Adding to that not everyone wants to play game on their pc. I went for it for my web development projects as my currently HP laptop is struggling with many applications open. In my case a good graphics card will be a waste of money, this is good enough.

Seriously, if I was to buy this and swap out the PSU, case and hard drive to SSD, and graphics card would this be worth what you get for the money? I have all of those parts already on my existing machine and I'm overdue an upgrade. If it's worth it for the mobo, ram, processor I'd go for it (and could maybe sell the rest, maybe)

Not a bad price. The GFX card lets it down a bit.

"Gaming"

Hi, I mentioned already this was a good deal for the cpu, case and windows license alone. you want the bits out of this, what will you be taking, cpu, mobo, ram, hdd, and the windows license of course. yep, worth it.

'Budget'

Very tempted in that case, is the motherboard able to support DDR4 RAM? It's either something like this or I go ahead and buy a new processor, mobo and RAM. (This one you get a free harddrive, wireless card, etc)

what an earth are you waffling on about. You've really overcomplicated this. Is this a good deal? Well, I can't buy the parts that make up this machine for less, infact it'll cost quite a bit more, and it's prebuilt which saves me time, and I can potentially just throw a better g/card in there if I want, or if I don't want to game, I can use this for pretty much anything else because A) it's a good CPU with 8 threads - good for a vm lab b) lots of ram, for whatever productivity work. Wind your neck in will ya, people buy macbooks with 16gb a ram just to surf the web and use facebook!

Have you even read this thread? What do you want DDR4 ram for specifically? Speed difference in DDR3 and DDR4 in negligible in 99.9% of cases. Your throwing money away concentrating on DDR4. I don't know what motherboard is in the machine, so I can't tell you more on that. My only concern is a motherboard that is a) not ATX standard meaning you won't be able to take it out the case, and b) the PCI-express is only 2x instead of 3x for the graphics card, but then that is only a consideration if your wanting to make it a gaming pc, and even then it's not THAT big of a deal on 2.0 perfectly serviceable machine as it is for at least a year I'd say, maybe longer. I run a 3770k and it's top banana. Older than this even.

The point is, this is a great deal for price to performance - and that's the key for anyone on a normal budget. You need to spend enough to get value for money, buying cheaper parts your throwing money away. Mr Linustechtips can explain better....

This machine is low cost, and you get value for money. Sure if you want to upgrade it, or game on it at all, you'll have a little more expense and hassle, but as a platform to add to, I can't see any issue with purchasing this.

I see well thanks for the info. I think I'm going to give it a miss and invest slightly more on a proper ATX form factor motherboard and processor/ram independently. Sits better with me anyway as warranties are usually different. Good deal nonetheless! Just that I have all the other parts already

"Powerful"

"Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."

Unless you play 2D games that gpu wont be much use, the core components however arnt bad, if you are a wannabe gamer on a budget this could be the core of a system you improve if you lack the skills to fully assemble a computer from scratch, not a bad deal but not accurately listed as a powerful gaming computer.

No, I'm telling you if you need a gaming rig, buy a gaming rig.

How can you quite blatantly lie about this???

The PC delivered yesterday and they left it outside my door I pick it up when I come back home in the evening. there is missing Windows 7 Professional box as you see it as blue box in the picture, Please let me know if you got Windows 7 Professional box.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Powerful-gaming-4718uPro-Windows-Professional/dp/B00IKKUDAE?ie=UTF8&tag=hotukdeals03-21

no box just the cd's in plastic bag

also has Wi-Fi antenna you need to screw in at back

​no box just cds

Thanks for info. there is a DVD windows 7 recovery media for windows 7 products SP1, but it's not " Windows 7 Professional "

I upgraded to Windows 10 as soon as I got it takes 2 to 3 hours to download and install

My pint is that "where is the Windows 7 Professional CD" as they advertised and you see in the picture next to the PC in case if the PC needed a fresh reinstall in the future.

it's installed and you have Recovery CD which will install it if you need it you also have win 7 serial no

​it's installed on pc with licence no on side of desktop the CD will reinstall for you
