I'm looking to get a new PC and I found this on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=51144&item=5110740726&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

Of course I can see that it doesn't come with a monitor, keyboard or mouse but I can get those pretty easily (and cheaply). It's very good specs for £200, but I'm not sure if trust this guy...What if the PC isn't to that spec (and can anyone tell from reading through the specs if the components will work well together).

Thanks alot.

I don't trust that deal one bit. Besides, everyone knows, to NEVER ever buy a PC of ebay. (Unless you meet up with the seller and do it in person)

I could build you a better system for the same price, throw in an extra £50 could give it a decent Radeon too.

I wouldn't trust him(the person on e-bay). He only had 28 points.

You can buy a pc from e-bay(i did) if the person is a power-seller and has more than 5000 points.
