very nice!
does the mobo have onboard graphics?

Fire_fly · 2 Nov 2012 at 17:16

The graphics are built into the CPU, nothing to special but should be fine for just a bit of browsing.

at that price you are probably better getting pre built, you can get a g645 based sytem with 8gb ram and 500gb hd sans os for £200

good job you mentioned that!

I was looking at the pre builds but tbh nothing looked interesting or upgradeable...
