    Asus GeForce GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II TOP
    Asus GeForce GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II TOP review The GeForce GTX 660 Ti is a triumph - but we’d go for the stock version over Asus' overclocked TOP
    £281

  • Nvidia GeForce GTX 670
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 review A quick card with strong performance for its price - the GTX 670 is the best graphics card at the £300 mark

  • Lindy SATA
    Lindy USB 2.0 & eSATA Cloning Adapter review A versatile external disk mount, but we wouldn't rely on its cloning abilities
    £40

  • AMD A6-3500 front
    AMD A6-3500 review Fine in 3D games, but the A6-3500 has distinctly budget 2D performance
    £64

  • Sandy Bridge E die
    Intel Core i7-3960X review Hugely fast, but very few people regularly run enough applications at once to need a processor with this many cores
    £840

  • AMD FX-8150 back
    AMD FX-8150 review An overclockable eight-core processor, but its performance is disappointing
    £195
