As such this PC has a slight advantage in the benchmarks. This processor is available at no extra cost over the price of the Core i5-4670, and clocks in 100 MHz faster, to 3.5 GHz. By the time you’re reading this, you can expect other vendors to have started using the new chips too, closing any small performance gap. See all PC reviews. This quad-core processor is paired with an AMD Radeon R7 265 graphics card, which in this PC allows the highest gaming frame rates of the whole group – if you need that sort of thing. So it’s fast, but speed alone does not a great family PC make. Thankfully, Chillblast has selected a high-quality 23in IPS monitor from Asus and included a Blu-ray drive; this is surprisingly the only PC in the group to provide Blu-ray playback. The Zalman Z3 Plus system case is aimed gamers who like transparent peek-a-boo side panels and blue illuminated front fans. You may like to forgive these unnecessary vulgarities since it’s also rather well made and feels more solid and more expensive than alternative offerings from Yoyotech and Arbico. Unlike those cheap cases, it includes a convenient front-facing USB 3.0 port. Inside, you get 16 GB of memory a 120GB Samsung 840 SSD for faster boot times and decent system responsiveness, along with a 1 TB hard disk for bulk storage. To cut down on ugly wires, a Logitech MK270 wireless keyboard and mouse is provided along with a USB Wi-Fi adaptor. You also get the peace of mind of a 2-year collect-and-return warranty. Then there’s another three years for labour only.
