    good point about the dropping of the CPU for a better GPU if needed, however just spotted that i said the core i7 870 it is actually the 860, sorry for the type :S
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    It will only be used for editing images really , I have an 18 mega pixel SLR and take lots of raw files at airshows and alike . Sometimes 12 gigs of images to process in abode lightroom.

    My current PC cannot handle it very well, so I need to get a new one.

    With regards to budget , I need to get the computer , so really just want something that could do the job well for the best price.

    I have a large widescreen monitor already , so thats not needed.

    thx

    Is 'editing images' a euphasism for making !!!!!!?

    Who on earth has that many images apart from of those blokes who get caught by the police?
