Today we are looking at the latest gaming system from PC Specialist, the Vanquish 670XM. This PC features an overclocked Intel Core i5 3570K, 8GB of Kingston Hyper X memory, a 120GB Kingston SSD with 1TB HDD and a 2GB GTX670.
On paper it looks to be a well balanced configuration at around £999 inc vat, but how does it perform?
PC Specialist are offering multiple configurations of this system, with a CMStorm Enforcer or HAF-XM case and GTX660Ti or GTX670 discrete graphics. Wisely they don't force a Bluray optical drive on the gamer, but it is available for a slight premium.

thats very nicely put together. good attention to detail.
Cooler Master case choice is good, they cool very very well without much noise., I have one !
Good build, impressed with the spec too, nothing ‘weak’ in it that seems to be them just clearing stock to ill informed customers
Cooler Master cases do use good fans, its a point that I liked to see being made. It sounds like such a minor thing to bring up, but I bought a Xigmatek case last year or 18 months ago and I had to replace all the fans in it. Some companies just buy the cheapest fans possible and try to maximise their profit. Long term it just doesnt work.
