Just to make sure you do know that spec above would be a built and delivered PC by PCS don't you.

ya but once i know what to look for i can get my brother to order it and it works out cheaper through his company so it saves me a bit and he has a guy who will build it for me but he told me to ask on one of these sites as ye would know what the best parts are for gaming if that makes sense

Lol thats fair enough but just 1 last push i will make for PCS is you have warranty with 1 year collect and return, 1 year parts and 3 year labour all included in the price and before you think i am on commission i am not (no matter how much i ask) just a happy customer.
