Hi guys, recently bought a Ultranote 15.6 from PCSpecialist a few months and very happy with the customer service I received etc so I decided to purchase a new desktop from them. I will predominately use the PC for gaming, and obviously browsing, streaming, etc. I will not need an OS and the budget is ~£800-850 unless you can substantially improve the desktop for a something little over that price range.
Here is the spec I built below. Do I need to do any slight tweaks etc, or is it fine?
