Hey guys
Just looking for some advice here on this rig for £820ish. Was looking ideally to run skyrim on it, but note that the 555m isn't amazing in ultra spec on this. Is it worth the couple of hundred upgrade for the 560m or is there a better alternative for around this price? Was ideally looking to keep the costs around £800-£900.
Cheers for any assistance!
