Cheap @ £17.61, takes total spends to £528.63 + del, and probably makes sense if you're going to be doing nocturnal vid editing with all cores on load.. (which you will if you buy such a nice comp )

is there a need for the 8600? why not save moeny there and buy a nicer keyboard instead

just a thought
