Despite the GPU not actually working as it should (clock speed being 300Mhz too slow currently..), I shouldn't really complain, I've tested the machine running Skyrim, the witcher 2, crysis 2 and a fair few other games (that caviar black is over half full on games), all graphical settings were enabled on max (some graphics mods and patches wherever any existed too) and it didn't seem to break a sweat :D

As far as build quality goes, hats really must go off to the chaps at PC Specialist goes, it's extremely neat and tidy and I'm hugely impressed! The case was huge though, something I hadn't fully appreciated till it arrived... I've been running on high end gaming laptops for about 6-7 years now, so it definitely came as a shocker, despite it's much higher power, it runs much much much quieter though, and so far seems to be pretty cool. (if not, please let me know :) )

I can post more, but I suspect that these pretty much cover it all :)

I'll post 3dmark scores once everything is working correctly also

Nice pictures (+rep)
I got similar memory and clock speed for my GPU and I notice that other GTX 680 users have the similar clock speeds and memory, I'd assume we need to wait for a driver update to increase those.

Thanks guys :)

Not so sure that my GPU is running correctly still though Rubensolo, something must be wrong with it as It's lagging behind the other 680 scores in this thread by around 2k points in the graphics department :(
