Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64. We use this program to test the storage options in the system.
The Samsung Solid State Drive delivers good sequential read results, and modest sequential write results. In real world terms, the system is snappy and boots quickly. The mechanical hard drive averages around 155 MB/s in both sequential read and write tests.
The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously.Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.
The ATTO Disk Benchmark results mirror our findings with the CrystalDiskMark program, averaging around 440 MB/s sequential read and 140 MB/s sequential write.
I have heard horror stories about their RMA process, is it bad?
Nice little build, and not much more than I could do it for myself. im tempted for my brother who needs a new one.
Excellent, nice price point. id probably move the GPU up a little and omit the OS. as I have several copies of Windows 7 here

Overclockers UK were bought out by Caseking early last year, since then there has been a major focus on improving customer service. You can see this improvement on Google/trustpilot ratings.
Its a good build, but i would definitely spend extra- that case is rubbish, its a cheap case and feels cheap.
Scan systems are better priced and they look after their customers too. fact.
I think its a good overall build, but I worked out I could build the same system with a HD7950 for the same price. it just shows if you can build them you save money. but I know not everyone can.
Just bought a system from PCSPECIALIST, and I love it. I always buy from them, had my three systems over the last 5 years from them. recommended.
