So in 2013 I bought myself a laptop from PC Specialist and the latest games have just overtaken my system for running on min requirements. The laptop has been superb and has never let me down, It's as fast today as the day that I got it!
So I'm looking to buy a desktop now, predominantly for gaming and specifically with a good amount of longevity and future-proofing. I'll be getting it on finance and my budget is around £40 a month (this system comes in at just under £38). I don't need a mouse, keyboard or monitor as I will buy these separately not on finance.
This has been made in the 'Top-spec Core Computers' rather than the 'Core i7 Extreme Computers' as the cheapest ~equivalent came out at over $50 a month seemingly only for a six core as opposed to 4 core CPU.
I'm not overly familiar with PC parts so I'm asking advice on the build, simply will it be what I want it to be and have I made any massive bottleneck errors or poor choices?
