You could improve it by going with Win 7 64x :yes: Have you used Win 8?

After some poking around it seems you made a great point, 8.1 update seems to only offer a partial solution to the hideous metro interface and attempt at returning the start menu and there are a few compatibility issues with 8 and some software and game a couple of years old....
Win 7 it is, order changed, thanks.

There are probably better places to say it, and I'll find them, but PCSpecialist have a great system for ordering, keeps you well informed of the progress and changes like this are so easy and show in the system straight away..
I have in the past used a 'similar' company for a custom build and was quite happy with them but these guys are showing how it should be done...
If the system arrives with the build quality the reviews out there suggest then I'll be shouting their name from the roof tops... Well almost, I run a few sites that will definitely feature a glowing report of my experiences.
