Hi all,
I've had my current PC Specialist laptop for about 8 years now and it's been great but time is finally catching up with it and the list of games that have to be played on the lowest of settings is getting longer. So, it is with some sadness but equal amounts of excitement I'm getting a new one. With help from the online chat team (thank you!!), I've so far got the following (see below).
Would massively appreciate help as to whether you think this would be a good set up for the price, and whether it will be somewhat future-proof (at least for the next 5 - 6 years). Any options that you think are or are not worth having would be particularly appreciated.
Treat me as a complete dummy, so feel free to go all in with the strength of advice/opinions.
Thanks in advance everyone!
