So, I finally got around to ordering my new PC at the tail end of last week (Friday just before noon), and it arrived yesterday. Absolutely thrilled with it so far, in the short time I've had to play with it. Firstly the spec:

Motherboard ASUS® SABERTOOTH Z77: USB 3.0, SATA 6.0GB/s, THERMAL ARMOR
Memory (RAM) 16GB KINGSTON HYPERX BEAST DUAL-DDR3 2400MHz X.M.P (4 x 4GB KIT)

Build Time FAST TRACK 5 WORKING DAY DISPATCH (£39)
Miscellaneous FREE METRO: LAST LIGHT GAME with GTX 660 & UPWARDS GPUs!
Initial thoughts when I saw the box on getting home, wow.. massive.. wasn't quite prepared for how big it would actually be. Took some pictures as I unboxed it, though still need to take a few more of it in position. Apologies for low quality shots, taken from a phone.
After getting a few games installed on it, performance seems immense so far. For example on RIFT on my old PC (560Ti/AMD Phenom II X4 965) with medium settings in the main city, I would hover around 20-25 FPS, dropping down to below 5 in the zone events. Standing in the city now, I'm showing 75-80 FPS with settings on ultra - quite the improvement!! Yet to try it out on anything more intensive yet, will report as I do though!
All in all, no complaints whatsoever with the service or the product received so far, every single thing has been positive - full marks from a very happy customer PCS, great job!
