Cheers guys I'm very pleased with the PC so far. Had a few issues getting the wireless connection sorted (no chance of hard wiring it) but changing the channel on my router has sorted it and all is good, very good in fact.
Overclocking....hmm well I have never done anything like that at all to a PC but there was some software with my motherboard, erm 'IA Suite 3' which says it overclocks it. I tested the CPU under a stress test and it was 4ghz so its had a very mild tune by the sounds of it. And it was only at 37deg

Its better to read a few how to's then do it in the bios, nice temp though, certainly should have some left in it, quite a few do 4.4+
If you have more problems with your wireless might be worth considering the powerline adapters.

Yeah ill have to do some reading up into overclocking. Im so out of the loop though with computers now haha, it took me hours upon hours of research to basically come up with my PC spec before I ordered!
Iv looked at those powerline adapters briefly before and was wondering wether they are any good?
Better than WiFi card?

Well WiFi problems became annoying. One minute it would be fine, the next shockingly bad.
So I bought one of them powerline adapters (TP Link AP 200), only a cheap one really but it got good reviews so I thought why not. It looks pretty smart, for a plug
Set it up effortlessly and its working like a dream. Should have just bought this from the start as it was cheaper than my WiFi card....grrr.

I'm glad it is good I've not used them personally just heard about them. At least it's all sorted now hey. Can't you return the card?

Yeah deffo worth the £17. Before with the WiFi card I was getting max 3mps (300mps WiFi card too) and this was when it was good and usually was way below 1mps, say around half that 
. Now with the powerline adapter its a constant 5mps at least. Not bad really to say im only on Sky broadband that's not exactly lightning fast. Seems fine on COD Ghosts online too so im happy.
As for taking it back im not sure as I specified the comp to be built up and the part does work fine on other routers, just seems to be problematic with my Sky one
