free4440273, your posts aren't half hard to read

Try concentrating on the writing over to the right and ignoring the avatar. Cold showers may help too.

Lol, I was only justifying the price to everyone because people seem to think when everyone comes on this forum it's ONLY about saving money.

The money didn't particularly bother me. I was going to get a loan because I was lending money to family, aswell as buying a new car and still had some left over so wanted to build a new PC

I make money producing videos (albeit slowly atm) so paying it back not much of an issue just wanted something really fast for when I play c.o.d and stuff.

Anyway, the loan was turned down so can't afford it yet, so just gonna save up the 2000 old style and upgrade that way

I honestly don't know which avatar I'm using lol. I have them turned off. Is it beaker?

Which one did I have before Fizzgig?

The 306 is just because I used to have a Peugeot 306 and it kinda stuck

As for the BOLD (no pun intended) I got tired of quoting:D

No offence or anything taken. I enjoyed making this post

:undecidedWhy is everyone getting their knickers in a twist about someone spending their money how they want?

It's not really his money, though, is it? He was planning to take out a loan to pay for this ridiculously overpriced vanity project.

Seems like it'll fit the bill well, I don't think you've gone wrong at all.

Price seems pretty good for that spec, the same model with a slower processor and half the hard drive capacity is around £360 at most retailers.

My only worry would be that you have bought this from DSGi (Dixons/Currys/PC World) -their after sales service is appaling. Also, HP laptops tend to come with a lot of bloated useless programs pre-installed, slowing down your computer - make sure you download PC Decrapifier (or better yet, do a full format and reinstall) before you do anything else.

Call of duty does play on a 64-bit O/S

The 16gb of ram is only for the video editing and photoshop work nothing more.
