Hey everyone!
I have been meaning to buy a new pc for a while now as I have been having to do most of my work in university (everything is pretty slow on my laptop)
I am a keen gamer and use quite a lot of adobe programs such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver too. I am looking for something that will be able to run everything. This is the first time I have ever looked at getting a PC so Im really not up to date with any of the specs. However I have a budget of around £700 and have been playing around and reading a few reviews and have come up with this.
Id like some feedback to let me know if im on the right track
Thanks in advance
