Sorry Tony... £180 graphics card (sent with the seal already broken), returned to them and then back to me reported "no fault" for £20... Same problem. It won't work on muliple PCs that run other comparable cards with ease. OC refuse to budge and refuse to give me the specs of their test PC after demanding every little number from mine.

So, I'm left with £200 spent for something that absolutely does not work except as a paperweight. Hence my expensive paperweight claim. Just Google them to see I'm far from alone.

I don't doubt your feelings did you try the threat of Trading Standards or small claims court? They should have been able to force them to at least get it tested independently..

Interesting choice of CPU, why did you go for that one?
Should be fine for FS9 and will overclock but looking at the list price its about £112 the Intel Core i3 550 3.20GHz runs out at £99, ok its dual core but these are super fast chips and clock easilly up to and well beyond 4Ghz!!
