Buying a cheap ass Haswell PC

The only thing which worries me with that build is the ebay part. I've done it enough now that I never shall again... Be very, VERY careful.

I think you would be surprised at how many legitimate traders use eBay as a second "store front" as it were. A lot of eBay sellers have their own shops as well, so it's not just some shady virtual store run out of guy's bedroom.

Anyway as I was stating there is virtually no difference if I were to build it myself so I am gonna be buying the second pre-built rig (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370916574300? ... 1438.l2649) and adding my own PSU and a decent GPU at a later date. The seller in question has 33505 feedback so I think I am in safe hands

Right, as it happens I built it myself in the end, the spec is the same apart from the motherboard. The ASUS one was faulty so I got an MSI one instead. I get a CPU score of 223 in the lobby on a standard core i5 4670k. This seems a bit too high to me, I was hoping it would be closer to 0 as the i5 4570k is rated highly for it's single thread performance.
