New computer

[LittleGrizzly]

Incase you wondering... no, this isn't grizzly's attempt to slowly spam up the hardware forum but somewhat a change of heart....

I have decided to get a desktop pc!

It wasn't so much what was said in the topic, i already knew that i was sacrificing performance for mobility, although the bit about the 3d card ect. was all helpful, but it was more a brilliant realisation, or more like an obvious realisation that seemed brilliant because it was so obvious!

Im going to get a desktop pc for all my gaming needs and im planning on picking up a really cheap laptop just to watch movies and tv programme's on (genuis i know )

So under my new criteria this is the best i could find...

With the stores im limited to being Curry's, PC World and Dixons this is the best bang for my buck i can get performance wise, and my limit being £700....

I have done a little reading online about the processor the 3d card and the like and it all seems pretty good, i am just wondering what my technically advanced brethen at the .org think of this pc, any negatives i may have missed....

also curious as to how you think it will do running these games....

Just curious generally how this will cope with most new-ish games on the market, im never usually that desperate to play the latest shooter, so i can live without that but any predictions on how it would manage E:TW ?
