You don't need an i5 and you could have upgraded the HD for £50 by phoning overclockers. End of the day its not my money, you'll be happy with your purchase, you wouldn't catch me spending £920 on a PC which will be outdated in 12 months.

Entire system is configurable to personal taste, exact requirements.

If you would like to follow up I would put you in direct touch with the company that builds these systems - nothing to loose. (note I am not connected with them, but have used them over the past 10 years).

Does seem to diminishing/zero return for some of components.

Its only for movies so won't be that out of date, just a lot cheaper.


Can't believe having all this processor power, SSD etc will get the data to the graphics any faster than needed.

My mates would not even know what the specs meant

I am happy that I received the correct level of service from a Company who took time out to talk to me - which in my opinion bodes well for the future

In contrast when my Dell went wrong I spent in excess of 4 hours on the phone on different occasions to get a new Hard Drive - which after all was under warranty

But thanks for your help
