DinoPC offers a wide variety of pre-built systems that can be tailored to your specific needs. It's the turn of their Predator Extreme 3570K OC gaming system to be put through its paces at KitGuru labs. Can the 3570K and GTX 670-based system prove its worth in such a heavily-contested market?
One of DinoPC's heaviest-hitting gaming systems, the £1,249 Predator Extreme sports a 4.5GHz overlocked i5 3570K processor, 16GB of Corsair Vengeance memory, a Gigabyte GTX 670 OC WindForce graphics card and 64GB Crucial M4 SSD. Housed in the critically-acclaimed Arctic White Carbide 500R case from Corsair, the Predator Extreme certainly has a delectable specification sheet.
Can this professionally-overclocked, gaming-orientated beast rip, shred and tear its way to a KitGuru award?

One of my drive bays snapped too 🙁
Nice selection of components. those graphics cards are wicked. nice selection. Id still rather build one myself however, even if it cost more. Good option for the punters who dont want to build their own.
Can you ever go wrong with a Corsair H100 at the heart of a system? im shocked they set the profile to the top however, its really very loud at that setting and I wouldnt use it. the middle option is my choice. it varies but doesnt quite hit the same speeds.
I work for a competitor. All I can say if that’s the best cable management you’ve seen, you haven’t seen ours. Also we ship that particular case with a full system inside and have never had one arrive at our customers damaged in such a way.
