    Quick update. Plumped for this one at the weekend from CCL Computers Elite range for £300:


    AMD A8 7650K 3.8GHz CPU
    8GB Hyperfury RAM
    1TB HD
    500W PSU (I think... need to double check)
    Dedicated 2GB AMD Radeon R7 240 GPU
    Wifi, DVD writer and 3-year warranty
    No Windows but this is not a problem


    Can anyone see a problem with this config?


    Cheers
    In deep...

    Thanks GunJack, very positive then :) Seeing as I bought it at 1am after a few beers to pluck up the courage, I'm mightily chuffed :)
