Thanks. I am not very technical but with that and the help i got from CyberDrac hopefully I can get a decent rig

You can indeed! Get one customised, dont buy from like HP, or an alienware..... Build your own, cheaper, and you can build to suit you

I'd say go for a larger SSD, just to make sure there is planety of space (windows 7 can get quite large these days bastid bloatware), apart from that, good spec

I am looking at getting this : http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/configure ... oduct=1202 in March when I have the money. What do you think?

[[KTFO]i-LiMiT-i]

We cant see the customisations

I bought mine from there. Costs too much imo
