Vortex III Dispatched!

[lod193]

Excited isn't the word! I only placed my order on the 16th so I'm very happy with how quickly PCS have put it together and got it out to me. Full review to come if I can pry myself away from it when it arrives. :tt1:

Snap, waiting on i7-2760QM stock to come in. Tried phoning and they don't seem to be able to give an answer as to when they'll arrive, every time its "hopefully tomorrow!"

Specs?

Couldn't quite stretch to the GTX 675 this side of my holidays but plan on upgrading to the 675 or 680 further down the line if at all possible! Also I seem to have an abundance of external HDDs knocking about so just opted for a small SSD. Very excited now, work has kindly given me a half day leave tomorrow so fingers crossed it arrives early enough for me to have a play before I'm summoned back into the office

Nice one thing i would of changed is the Warranty to Silver witch would get you 1 Year Collect & Return for £5. Its probably worth calling PCS to ask if it's possible to get it still.
