If you've got XP+ I'd spend the money on windows on upgrading.

Providing you have a non-OEM copy (and assuming DELL even provided anything more than a recovery disc). Otherwise it won't work.

Nice setup, the HD6850 will be great for gaming. The weakest part of this PC is the CPU, but it's still very powerful.

 

[Phoenix]

The RAM is fine and the CPU isn't bad either but you should really upgrade to the coolermaster case and get the standard warranty.

 

[Meds]

The specification is fine, don't worry. At the end of the day you still have a Quad Core CPU, 4GB RAM and one of the newest graphics cards on the market - it'll have no problems playing games.

If you can afford, the Elite 310 would offer slightly better cooling but would advise to get the £5 Silver Warranty as Pheonix says - great value for money!

How do i edit the change?

 

[Len]

You can either ring up and change it or you should of got a login account by email where you can ammend the order

Def get the silver warranty for £5 more it's a bargain.
