ARIA Gladiator 6300-HD7870LE AMD 4.10ghz 6 core System review

Rating: 8.0.

If you have a limited budget then many of the high end systems we review on Kitguru are simply out of reach. Today we aim to redress this by looking at a budget oriented build from UK retailer ARIA. The Gladiator 6300 comprises a 6 core AMD processor, 8GB of 1,600mhz memory, Corsair power supply and an AMD HD7870 Tahiti LE graphics card. The asking price? A cool £499.99 inc vat. Is this THE budget system you need to be looking at this year?

The Gladiator system is designed for the enthusiast user on a very tight budget. If you aren't able to make the time to build a system, or just don't have the interest then ARIA are promoting the Gladiator 6300 as an ideal, low cost gaming system. Today we will test the system with a variety of synthetic and real world benchmarks.

It is worth pointing out that ARIA don't ship the Gladiator 6300-HD7870LE with an Operating system installed, so you need to factor that into the cost and spend some time setting the system up after unboxing.
