Cyberpower Infinity Achilles XT review This overclocked and water-cooled gaming PC is phenomenally powerful, even if it can't quite edge out its nearest competitor.

AMD Phenom II X2 560 Black Edition If overclocking doesn’t interest you, then this is a great dual-core chip to base a budget PC around.

Chillblast Fusion Elemental review With a chart-topping score of 200 overall, the Fusion Elemental is the fastest PC we've tested so far, but it's very expensive and most people don't need that much power.

Palicomp Core i5 Blast 760OC4-24 review It's incredibly powerful in Windows and in games, has a fantastic monitor and loads of upgrade potential. The only downside is that it's a little loud.

AMD Radeon HD 6850 review A great card at a great price, if you held off upgrading to the 5000-series, then this is the card for you.

Mesh XGS ProFire review A decent monitor, fast processor and graphics card are great to see, but it's a shame there's no USB3 at this price.

Arbico OC 7600 XL review Arbico has concentrated on making the OC 7600 XL as fast as possible, but has neglected the hard disk, graphics card and monitor in the process.

Mesh Elite CSR review The overclocked Core i3 processor makes the Elite CSR blazingly fast, but it's let down by the poor monitor and it lacks a dedicated graphics card

PC Specialist Aurea 540 OC review By fitting a Core i3 processor, PC Specialist has managed to afford a decent graphics card, but the awful HKC monitor lets the system down.

Arbico Elite 7646 OCX review The overclocked processor makes this PC incredibly fast, but the poor monitor lets it down and we think too much has been spent on memory.

Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 (GV-N450-1GI) review A capable graphics card for £100, but it doesn’t do quite enough to topple ATI’s HD 5770.

CyberPower Infinity i5 Hercules review The overclocked Core i5 processor and Radeon HD 5770 give you plenty of power, but the monitor is awful and the motherboard doesn't support new standards.

Eclipse Solar i76r577 review A superb monitor, powerful graphics card and processor and a future-proof motherboard make this neatly-built system the ideal mid-range desktop PC.
