After taking advice for some of the Mods and Members, here is my little desktop.
The desktop will have Windows 7 Pro 64bit with Office 2010 and is used for working on my website and making quiz packs,

I also enjoy playing games in my spare time so wanted a decent graphics card.

Anyway think this will suit my needs.

Looks good.
The only concern i have is the PSU, doesn't leave much at all for future upgrades etc. But should be fine for the current spec.

Glad to see you took up the Silver Warrenty also.

Delivered and looking fantastic, will upload some pics later....just one liitle question.

My old pc on the Windows Experience Index had figures in the low 5's even a 4.9 on the Proccessor which is how my old system was scored, now the first thing I did was to check my new little beauties ratings....

....Everything has shot up to the mid 7's except the very last number, the PRIMARY HARD DISC this has went from 5.4 to 5.9....should I have been expecting more??? :confused:
