I put myself to sleep in deep stasis for 20 days, it was the only way I could manage it...

But seriously, I sat there on my order page clicking refresh waiting for the status to update, wouldn't recommend that, drove me crazy. This forum helped, helps the time fly so long as it's busy.

Update 24th/03/17

It looks like the built in wifi has failed in testing, but no biggy!

Worried about my case now im doing more research, seems the one i picked is marked for mid range gaming , so hopefully it doesnt hold me back to much :c

It's not amazing, but I'm sure it will do the job. It has other fan mounting points too, so if temperatures turn out to be warmer than you like or whatever, you can just add some extra fans yourself.

You can also set custom fan profiles for your GPU and such. If you find you need to.

Pc has been dispatched YAY! Pc has been dispatched to the wrong address booooo....sigh now i need to make time at work to call them, in the mean time ive sent a mail to support.

 

[Hailtothedoge]

Update on dispatch, Have gotten a call from PCs and they have taken the correct address and they said they will amend this I always read that they have bad customer support but from my dealings it hasnt been that way at all! even email has been fast and effective!
