Well, for that price, yes. The GTX 580 is a very pricy card, even in today's money.

Case is good, i7 as well. Didn't see a CPU cooler in there though, and if it's overclocked that high, then I'm quite worried..

Just seen that you saw this on Gumtree.

I did notice that it's actually 800 GBP on the listing, not 500 like you think?

WHoever built it, clearly knew what he was doing. For starters, he actually built one. I'd ask how good his cable management is - it can be a pain to have to tidy it up yourself.

EDIT: Seen that price has been reduced. That's a monster deal. I was at 500GBP without monitor, or GPU or an SSD.

Well I got it for exactly double that. With some slight improvements over what he has.
