Can't wait to get this. Should be before end of next week. Just sucks because it has to go to Jersey before then sending on to me at uni in herts because of finance.

Any advice would be great if I should make any changes before its too late

I'd change the HDD to a caviar black, faster boot times an file loading, and also drop down to the fenrir CPU cooler. WC may be a little overkill Also, bump it up to silver warranty

 

[mortonstanton]

Thanks for the reply corfate

I've upgraded to silver but im gonna keep the cooler as i'm looking to upgrade my hardware in the future and would be nice to have a good one already in my tower.

Hopefully this spec will be ok for any game out there atm and in the next year or so Bring on SWTOR and new Max Payne!

 

[Corfate]

Just noticed as well, you won't need 16GB RAM to play games 4GB is enough, but put 8GB for futureproofing. It's easy enough to upgrade later on

 

[Mr.RKH]

8gb samsung 1333mhz is futureproof enough
should add blu ray player for 49 pounds unless you have a ps3 or a blu ray already
the liquid cooler istoo much
why buy the windows 7 OS, when you can transfer license of old pc, UNLESS it's not a retail version
Speakers....??
Silver warrant for 5 pounds more!

 

[mortonstanton]

Yeah my old pc's OS is a bit dodge hence the new one and thought as im buying with finance might aswell get some speakers for my halls flat parties

and yeah got the silver warranty
