Hi this is my review of PCS & my pc

To start of with PCS customer service is fast and very helpful the whole order process from start to finish was a breeze. Anyone thinking of getting a pc from any other company should think again you might find some other sites build the pc faster but they will most definitely have more sent back and alot more negative feedback. http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/www.pcspecialist.co.uk

Now i have my pc my only regret is why i waited so long to order one. I got my pc for gaming and photoshop and it runs all games i've played so far on ultra settings 1920×1080 & i am thinking of getting a second monitor at some point.

Anyway's here's my computer spec build time & who worked on it. I find myself on this forum all the time when i'm not on photoshop or gaming i mean they did build my baby. I have already posted most of this but it's all together and tidy for all to see.
