I decided to partition the second drive with 200/300 GB (the OS is on the SSD)and have one for work and one for play
All in all this cost me £1798 which is much less than it would have been from alienware - where it would have been £2200 at the least.
So considering I got the confirmation email moments ago I will likely be waiting a while for this - But I don't mind so long as it works well :tt2:
I will be using for some serisous gaming, and then uploading videos of those, don't know what software Ill use yet but ill figure it out.
Ill do a review of it when it arrives and Ive got everything working Ill tell you how well it plays stuff like Deus Ex Human Revolution and my total war games.
Happy weekend everyone
