Would be useful to know what your intended usage for the machine is so that people can give relevant responses/advice :)

But make sure you add the silver warranty for a fiver, its well worth it.

Mcfphil,

As Rakk mentioned above, you need to let us know what you plan to use this PC - home/office, photo/video editing, gaming? Do you have a budget - are you under or over the budget? Without this information it's nearly impossible comment or make suggestions for improvements.

I see nothing saying SILVER WARRENTY on my Amend Order page!

1. Select "Amend Order" when logged in to your account.
2. Tick the box next to "Warranty" and press the submit button.
3. Using the drop down menu, select the Silver warranty option and click "Proceed".
4. Enter card payment details and follow on-screen instructions.

:)

Generally it's a good spec, however I have some suggestions for you. You state it's going to be used for "Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and Office 2010 and playing the odd game in my spare time...Civilization V and that sort of thing" - based on your usage, my advice would be up amend the order to a HD5770 and if the increased cost is too much, decrease the RAM to 4GB.

Also consider removing the Audigy SE soundcard because it takes a pair of highly tuned ears to notice any difference between that and the onboard sound.

Hi PCS I have taken your advice and removed the sound card and upped the graphics card to the 1GB ATI RADEON™ HD5770 with the alteration it was only an extra £20
