the price I though was amazing for the specification of this, also just £5 for 1 year collect and return.

My payment status went to Order Dispatched on the 15th this month, does that mean it should be delivered on Monday or likely for Tuesday?

I would also like any views you want to about the specification I created for a decent gaming computer.

Thanks
Nick Hough

I'm jealous of that gtx570, I only have gtx470 :( You want to swap? Lol.
This comp is a very nice gaming rig :D One negative point though, wireless keyobard and mouse are not a brilliant idea for gaming, espically fps games, the main type of games I play. Everything else seems perfect in my opinion,
btw make sure that you will post pics when it arrives :D

I know wireless Keyboard and Mouse's aren't good I just selected since i will be running it of my 32" TV which is on my wall in my room, so i need to be a little distance back from the actual desktop otherwise my neck starts to hurt, but thanks, i honestly though that for gaming it wouldn't be that great to begin with, hence why i put a Starter computer :p.

I hope to get a 3D-22" Monitor soon so it will basically pawn anyone :p
Also hoping to get a better Sound Card then get some good speakers and probably a better Mouse and Keyboard, then I will defiantly be sorted to game.
Thanks again mate :p

The comp itself is great for gaming, you would even easily get away with a quad core cpu.
Rember about pics of your set up when you get it.

Will defiantly post on here with pictures, just to make some of you jealous. :p

I know but i stayed hex-core since I will keep it for hopefully up to 4 years so when games start to utilise all 6 cores I will be ready with the over clocked six core. :p

I'm planing to upgrade a bit earlier than you unless my pc will still cope, I could always change the gpu, and will definately add an ssd drive.
btw I may only have four cores but mine are better, obviously at stock compared to yours at stock, I can always overclock mine to 4ghz :p
Good move with picking the hex core anyway :D

I can give you some reccomendation when you decide to go wired. It is better at least when it comes to cheap solutions, becuase for a good wireless mouse you have to pay £100.
