After careful consideration and keeping in mind everyones advise I am going with the following spec! Wanted to get fast built time for £39 but apparently they are out of Windows 7 64 bit :S lol..

Anyways please see below the final spec, please if you have any last minute advise please do tell me! The spec is to be able to play games like bf3 etc on ultra settings! Got i5 2500k for future proofing in case I want to over clock hence for a better processor cooler!

Wanted to get fast built time for £39 but apparently they are out of Windows 7 64 bit :S lol..

If you keep checking it and find out when they do have Win7 64-bit in, then you will be able to amend the order to fast track it (the fast track time starting from the day when they receive payment for it)

 

[AAli]

I'll wait till monday to order.. If they dont have it by monday morning then I might just get the Windows 7 professional one as they have it in stock.. Is Windows 7 professional give same performance for games as the Home version?

Secondly if I order on a standard built time how long you reckon I am looking to wait for? In the thingy it says 10-12 working days..

 

[Rakk]

Well, the average wait time for desktops is about 17-18 working days currently (looking at the numbers on the orders page when looking at your account), so about 3 and a half weeks.
Win7 Professional has a few extra bits and pieces that you can do, like XP mode (I think), these will not effect your gaming.

And as I said, you can order it and when available upgrade to fast track anyway.

If you're unsure about the case, check out the Haf X or the Corsair 500r (It doesn't support a memory card reader though). Both great cases

Oh didnt see this bit before thanks alot for the tip !!! :rockon:

 

[mantadog]

Everything looks alright, for advice on the case i would just say go for whatever one grabs you. At that kind of price range you wont go far wrong, i like the coolermaster cm690 myself but no real logic behind that on my part.

Anyway enjoy it!
