[Tony1951]

Could any of you good gentlemen have a quick look at this spec for me. I will be using it mainly for games. Will also use it for films and pictures, which after my latest mess up will be copied hence the large storage.

I would make 1 or 2 changes. The AMD APU is a waste if you're going to add a big GPU. Go for an i5 or i7 instead. Also remove the free trials. You may want to consider changing the SSD to an Intel given the iffy reviews of the OCZ - although I still think the majority are probably OK.

Hi have altered the specs slightly but price seems to have jumped up. Price is not critical but dont want to waste money.

OP i'd go for the rig fear has suggested, looks solid! will be a beast!

 

[Tony1951]

Yes I have to admit it looks really tasty.

 

[Rakk]

If you pick something like the spec fear suggested and drop down to the i5-2500 CPU that would bring the price back down again a bit and you probably wouldn't notice too much difference.

 

[Tony1951]

Hi just changed to the lower spec processor. This is £165 cheaper so definately worth considering.

 

[Tony1951]

I an definately ordering this weekend. Have changed to the storm sniper case as i need a card reader.apparently you cannot have one with the case i had picked.
Anyone have an idea were the card reader will be fitted in this case. No need to answer have been on their website which explained it all.
Computer ordered just have to wait.
