Despite attaching a budget price tag to the drive, the performance of the Ultra Plus means it can take on the big boys.

A great 24-inch, 120Hz screen for an absolute bargain price. Whether you love 3D or not, this is a quality monitor.

Right now, the HD 7870 XT is the bargain card of this gen, and the jokerCard is a perfect example.

This is a machine that's been specced and built from the ground up to be the quietest gaming PC you can put together while still nailing high performance.

The wheel of time turns and chipsets come to pass, and a year after the Z77 chipset's launch, you can pick up top-spec boards for a fraction of the price you could just a few months back.

While the Mad Catz designs polarise opinion, you generally can't argue with the quality of components used, and the FREQ 5 headset boasts a decent technical specification.

An impressive return to the water-cooling market by Cooler Master with a very capable budget liquid CPU chiller.

Get ready for some three-way SLI action with the world's fastest single GPU card.

This then is the Mad Catz STRIKE 5, the inevitable cheaper little brother to the impressively mad STRIKE 7. Well, I say cheaper, but it isn't cheap.

Curvaceous gaming mouse with more than a little precision engineering

Following hot on the crazy-priced heels of the Mad Catz STRIKE 7 gaming keyboard comes this ultra stylish, ultra techie riposte from peripherals guru Razer.

Can this fairly large slab of silicon and whirry bits shake AMD's unjust reputation for flaky drivers and weak performance?

1GB or 2GB? That is the question

This latest headset from Asus isn't bad, considering Asus is better known for motherboards and graphics cards.

Can this new budget IPS monitor from Viewsonic compete in an already fierce and crowded market?

This far down the pecking order of graphics cards you will really struggle to get anything close to decent gaming frame rates out of a normal 1080p screen.

Despite its chunky fan, this is not a high-performance chip cooler in the traditional sense. It's designed to keep your CPU cool, while producing very little noise.

If space is a premium in your build, this GPU may suit you well

Can you really get good gaming frame rates for under £100? In the case of the MSI HD 7770, the answer is an affirmative yes.

The relentless march of time hasn't been kind to the GTX 670

The G710+ is the first keyboard out of Logitech's design-works with those lovely, chunky, noisy mechanical switch keys.

The HD 6990 then was the last beefy multi-GPU card straight out of the state of Texas. Luckily we don't have to rely on the ten-gallon-hatwearers for all our AMD goodies though.

While the likes of the Mad Catz STRIKE 7 keyboard are a bit of a guilty pleasure for this here reviewer, I am infinitely more pleased by simpler, more effective keyboard design.

There's a tremendous sense of value when you get this Asus version of AMD's HD 7950 out of the box. It really is rather massive.
