Hurrah!

After several days of posting here, there and everywhere and countless hours of reading reviews and watching YouTube videos, I finally ordered my FIRST computer from PC Specialist! I am very happy with what I bought and can't wait for it to be delivered. I am a little confused why I was asked about my browser. I thought the computer would arrive with factory settings and me having to setup Windows from the start? I may have to ask about that prior to production.

Well, without further ado, here is what I ordered:

That's a pretty awesome laptop you got there.

As for the browser, I think it's just one of the things that they install for you. It's not exactly bloatware as it is a tool we all use and a choice is given. I guess it's just for extra convenience to get you up and running quicker.

Well there's plenty of free games on steam and elsewhere to get you started. We may be able to recommend some decent games depending on what kind of games you like. A lot of people buy their games in the Steam sale, it can make it a lot cheaper but the next sale probably won't be until Easter.

I have been playing World of Warcraft forever but it is getting a bit tedious now. There's a game called Black Desert Online which visually looks amazing that is due to be released soon. I may try that or the Elder Scrolls Online. I generally play MMORPG and FPS like Unreal Tournament. Speaking of which, there hasn't been a new UT for a long time but they're finally working a new one. That brings back memories! "Unstoppable!"

I don't really play MMO's but if you want a good FPS then CSGO is the obvious choice although won't exactly let you show off your laptop capabilities. Probably best getting Battlefront or Battlefield for that.
