Aria.co.uk Gladiator 1155 i5 4.4GHz Bundle
AIDA64
Published: 9th May 2011 | Source: Aria | Price: £329.99 |
Our testing is normally at both stock, and the highest attainable overclock. As this is a pre-overclocked bundle we're testing at the 4.4 GHz CPU speed it comes with. So there will understandably be a difference between the Gladiator and our other results as we normally hit around 5 GHz. So bear this in mind.
AIDA64
Utilising the latest version of the always updated AIDA64 the Gladiator performs very well in all the tests. PhotoWorxx is a little behind but that's largely due to the RAM being slower than we normally test with. Otherwise there is a clear performance benefit to be had from the overclock when compared to the stock system.
Memory performance is a fair bit behind the other systems we tested but, as mentioned above, you need to remember that most of the other tests were performed with very expensive 2000 MHz+ RAM.

This bundle is one of the best I have ever seen for the value for money. 
I don't like bundles myself because i'm a do it yourself type of person but for someone who isn't confident in building their own PC or overclocking and on a budget, this is definietly the bundle you should buy. All you need to do is add a PSU, case, HDD and GPU, something like the CM 690 II ADV a 6850, Samsung F3 1TB and a 500/600W PSU and for around £600 including the bundle you have yourself a decent little gaming rig.

it shows how good value this is tbh as its the same price as the hardware would cost in the states once you remove the tax.
the aria bundles are so good i know i guy who is coming over to the uk from norway to get one because the hardware is that much more there he can travel and stay here, buy the parts and still save money

They must pay a fortune for stuff in Norway. I know the tax is really high over there but still, to travel over here and still pay less, that's messed up 
Really good performance, for a very good price. Great job by aria! 
wow that is great deal
I've been looking at this deal for the past week and a bit now, I'm so tempted. But if it came without the cooler and had an extra 4GB of RAM I'd have snapped it up in an instant.

Only way to know for sure would be to ask tho mate
Hmm, good plan! Although I priced up a few items I wanted (without the overclock) and it came to a similar price (about £20-£30 more?) so I'm not too worried.
Still... this bundle is my safety net.

Just out of interest, are they running the 4.4 overclock without speedstep?
Gonna go for this I think. The specs seem bang for buck! I just hope it's still on by the time the missus gets back(in a few weeks now :S). I will almost defo get this. What graphics card do you guys recommend getting? Looking for a nice card that will be good for some new games and not bottleneck because of mobo.
Cheers.

Nice, thanks for the information. 570 looks like a nice card, and the reviews are quite good also!
Is there anything remotely similar to this across the pond in the states?
