Difference between Vanquisher 230x and 230XT

[crawoo145]

Hi there was wandering if anybody could tell me what the difference is between these 2 models. I will link here https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/reviews/

It's driving me crazy haha.

And also can anyone make a better comp for the same price. I do cad work and some FEA and CFD work. I love my games too but from what I can see my friend has this computer and it runs everything well, just don't want to copy my friend.

Any input would be appreciated.

The XT is overclocked ... No Wait.. That's a similarity.. ummm.....

Maybe you get a tea bag with it? All I can see is the XT has a "T" whereas the X doesn't....

I'm glad somebody else is struggling. Didn't want to look like and idiot by it being blindly obvious

Can you see how you can make a better computer for the same price looks like the best mix of good components for price I can find.

This spec is slightly cheaper (both the pre configured cost 1094£ now) but doesn't have a CPU suitable for overclocking. You will see very little difference between the CPUs, but this spec has a slightly better GPU and only 8gb RAM. If you want you could opt to get 16gb RAM on the gtx760 which is a perfectly decent card (can run most games on high)

Gotta be honest mate, I think you have reaffirmed my point about how good a deal the vanquisher is, thanks for the input though.

same spec different names.

thought so but seen so many cases of one letter making a massive difference with these kind of things, just bought a new karcher and had to take it back cause it was a premium not a premium eco -.-

Had to google that, didn't know what a karcher was.
It seems good value for money, the vanquish not the karcher. I wonder who is in charge of naming those systems.
