Not everyone has the time or inclination to build a new system themselves and luckily we have some great system builders in the UK. PCSpecialist have proven their worth in previous reviews on Kitguru and today we are looking at their latest Vanquish Z11 system which features an overclocked Core i5 3570K, fast solid state drive and GTX660ti graphics card.
Buyers are spoilt for choice in the United Kingdom right now, we recently reviewed the Wired2Fire Diablo Predator System, and while there were a few minor problems, the system was certainly worthy of a recommendation.
The Vanquish Z11 has a similar array of hardware inside, although PCSpecialist have removed extras from the price – such as monitor, keyboard and mouse and instead opted for the Corsair H40 liquid cooler, the Zalman Z11 case, a faster GTX660ti graphics card and KingstonV300 SSD with matching Kingston 10th Anniversary memory.
On paper it looks very tasty indeed, but how does it hold up under Kitguru testing?

I built a system for the same price. Very closely matched actually, except my cable routing is a mess.
They seem a good company.
Never even seen that case before, looks very aggressive. I like it.
Seems like a good well balanced system, only thing I would change would be the cooler. get the H60 and overclock it to 4.7 or 4.8. only £30 more.
GOod company, my friend bought the last system Kitguru reviewed from them and he loves it. this looks good too.
this isnt available on their site I looked everywhere for this system as there finance options are really great. Pay within a year and pay Zero interest.
Vhero, its a special system deal – link is in the conclusion page – https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/reviews/
I have this case it has great cooling and is very quiet even though it has five fans as standard
