This is the new pc im looking to buy i know some parts may be excessive but im trying to future proof it as much as possible with out spending to much, ive put extra power so i can put a second graphics card in later on if needed, is this balanced and safe to run for gaming on highest settings, since its overclocked will i have to ever have to set anything or can i just play games and it will be ok , im not great with computers so could do with some help any and all suggestions on specs and what this pc can do will be appreciated thanks.

Looks like a solid gaming rig.

With an overclock there is always the off chance that it will default to stock clocks. If this happens it can be overclocked again with help from our call centre.

Agreed, a very nice rig you've put together!

Overclocks are setup in the Motherboard BIOS, we will set it up here so when you receive the PC it will be ready to use out of the box. With an overclocked PC, you don't need to changed any other settings software-wise - just crack on with your gaming

Great, well balanced specification you have put together there. It will be able to play your games on very high settings with ease.

Yea!!! An AMD spec, they really are the best bang for buck in my opinion, great rig you have spec'd up there too, and overclocking if you lose the settings is SOOO easy with the black edition processors as the multiplier is unlocked!

Is there as much chance in that happening with an i7 (the 930 to be exact).

Completely and utterly random if it does happen ever.

Ive had it happen to me once after a power cut and once on a really cold morning.
