    Thank you very much OUSSEBON for that really helpful reply. I will look into this for my own pc as I've been thinking I'd need to buy a new pc.

    Hi Experts, I'd be grateful for any comments on this spec please which I put together (and ordered) in haste on Sunday in light of the support for Windows 7 ending very soon.
