It's a decent deal, basically getting the case and PSU for free, both of which are pretty bad though.

Converting it to euros you are saving about 50 euros in total, so about 35 pounds, and they aren't including a fan because they're selling tray cpu's. It's fine but not a no-brainer, false advertising :o

wtf am i reading that right? no RAM? 

 

just a CPU, MB, PSU, and case?

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

It's not false advertising if they don't exaggerate or tell lies. The phrase 'no brainer' is pretty subjective, so no, I'd say it isn't false advertising. It's just a normal ad.

Good deal maybe... except for the fact that you can save £84 and get the exact same deal minus crappy case and psu further down the page, then get a decent case and psu with the £84.

True, but this is basically just a 4-part hardware bundle, not a pre-built. (It doesn't come assembled)

When someone has no concept of how to use sarcasm it often looks like a serious comment.

 

You should work on improving it.

That either was not sarcasm or it was the worst sarcasm of the century. It looked completely serious.

That's not too bad actually. The PSU is absolute cancer but still.

What? Considering you can do this for a couple of quid under (actually v.good case, and let's be honest everyone in their right mind should buy a different PSU)
