Hi all,

What i would like you to do is try to match the below build with Today's same specification counterparts.

The Reason for this is I'm Going to I-series Gaming Event & i want to see how
much it would cost to replace everything if it got stolen or destroyed (if any).
I've Took out insurance but this only Goes to £1500 for a single item.

So that is what it will cost you if it got nicked.

The above is also much faster too.

Imagine what can be done if you got a full payout from insurance:D

Whats one of those?

its one of those cards you get if your an audiophile, or just need the best sound quality possible (eg, if you work in music production)

you cant say that it doesnt improve sound quality, but i know full well a sound card isnt needed in 99% of computers these days. i wasnt recommending he got one, but he did say to spec the equivalent computer
