inc VAT A competent PC for games, but the base specification is rather expensive for what you get

The Arbico Haswell 4670Ti is a great little PC, particularly in its basic £701 specification, and the upgrades in the £891 version are well chosen. While it can’t rival the gaming performance of the fully-upgraded Chillblast Fusion Kestrel, the base specification in particular is good for gaming. We just wish the standard PC was a bit cheaper.
