Hi there all, will appreciate any input on the following build. It is to replace a my 2 year old gaming desktop as I need to downsize, and replace a 6 year old laptop. I want it to run games like guild wars 2 on medium-high, and any older games on high. Opted for a i7 to future proof it some more (and good value to get it over the i5 3210M), and went for the 660M as graphics card is the key component that's going to improve my gaming experience, and the 650M that PCSpecialist do is DDR3 rather than the DDR5 that the 660M is equipped with.
