https://www.aria.co.uk/Systems/Gaming+Range/Gladiator/Gladiator+Warbird+V2+Intel+Core+i5-2500K+%40+4.40GHz+DDR3+Gaming+PC+?productId=47227&rqcType=c#rqc so i rang customer services up and asked them how much it would cost to change the ram to 8gb and the graphics card to a hd 6850 and they said it would cost £758 ( also asked for a mouse+keyboard and moniter cable) will this last me for a good long time and will it be relatively quiet and cool? Also is that a decent price?

what you planning to use it for?

what games what settings on games

you could build yourself a better gaming pc

if your comfortable building it yourself

[Dillon]

If you're not building it yourself you won't beat it in price.
Building it yourself would probably save you £40 odds

[Dillon]

Although Aria's pc's are very well built.
I got mine built by Aria for £50.
Worth it? Depends, I've never built a pc before, although pretty easy considering I've done loads of upgrades I've never actually built one from scratch.
So I let Aria do it and I was very impressed

Well i'd like to play most games at max and i'd rather not have to spend any more on it for a while haha :p and i'd rather not build it myself just incase something goes wrong

go with that system then :)
you might struggle on some latest games with graphics card
if you keep the 4gb ram and put the extra to a 560ti your max games out then at good fps

building one is easier than it sounds, though from what i've seen of aria systems they do a great job. If you can afford it then put a 560ti in and the 8gb of ram, though if you can't afford it no then you could put an exra 4 or 8gb of ram in in a few months if you need it, and that really is a matter of pushing it into the slot.

Not always, I've seen new/additional RAM mess up the OC big time on all of the gladiator systems.

yeah when overclocking with RAM it's not exactly plug and play

[Glent]

It not amount as in going from 4 to 8, its the fact they come with 2 ram slots populated. Many users add more and use all four slots.

That the issue right their. that puts extra strain on the overclock by using all four ram slots.

The work around is take out and sell/re uses the ram installed and install a larger capacity kit.

Eg

its comes with 2x2gb , dont add another 2x2gb

go for a 2x4gb kit, in theory you double the ram and should be ok with the overclock

[wills1234]

yeh thats what i asked them to do was put a 2x4gb of the same make as the 2x2gb

[Seb.F]

Yes, mem controller can be slightly more stressed by populating more slots.

[danzy0121z]

just get 2*4gb ram

[PCplod]

If you can insert a plug into a plug socket at home or replace a lightbulb the chances are you can 'build' (more like put together) your PC.
Just look at some video walk throughs on youtube if your not to sure (there are some very good ones) to see how easy it is and exactly what you need to do and you will have no problem. The only way something can go wrong is if you pour banana milkshake from McDonald's all over it and try to feed it fruit winders... its just a case of connecting cables and plugin everything in.

Although there is always a chance that one of the components could be dead out the box with PC parts, but thats a very slim chance it would happen.

Also depends how you value your time. If it goes well building your first PC carefully should still only take an hour. If you get a problem however it could take far longer and be very difficult to diagnose. Also as others have said, the GPU is a bit average in that machine, a 460 would make a decent difference :thumb:

4gb of ram is sufficient for current titles. However, 6 months down the line, we will start to see the benefits of 8gb.

I'd spend the money now, bump the memory to some cheap 8gb (only a few quid more) and the card to a 560ti, and you'll have a great system that will play virtually all titles at ultra 1080p nicely.
