if he was going to spend £1,165.50 inc VAT

add a better graphics card to the i7 and he will be laughing

R.C.Anderson · 13 Aug 2010 at 13:32

yea, yours are defiantly better. I agree with the gfx upgrade to the 1GB version, and the spinpoint F3. the only other thing, yours doesn't include a printer, but the one your comparing to does, is this needed?

Phil2008 · 13 Aug 2010 at 13:40

Thanks guys. Once he has let me know on the spec he wants, I'll fine tune the spec. He doesn't want a printer now.

Agree with Lemin on the samsung f3 1tb, and if you are spending that much you may as well spend a little extra on a better performing and looking case ?

dfour · 13 Aug 2010 at 13:50

Nice profit margin they where going to make there

Yeah I will prob have to change the case as he wants bling,

but Id rather get a not so good looking case that has fan filters.

Just been having a word with my mate and the F3 hdd is slower and speed is main priority on hard drives especially if its the OS drive, also the wd black has 5 year warranty.

Also my mate have seen the reviews of the 768mb gtx460 to gather that they not gonna make the world of difference since this guy is not a proper hard core gamer, plus the the MSI or gigabyte gtx460's have good coolers and rest run hot and noisy.
