If you would be available to get the PC during the week PCS will probably let you change the delivery method to a weekday delivery if you give them a bell :)

You could get an i5 + gtx 670 and an SSD for around £1000.

Though noting that it was ready for dispatch a few days ago, there would be an admin charge for changing anything*, and if it was changed now after the fast track build (which has already happened), it may be delayed (by how long I do not know).


*Except for stuff like delivery options and warranty options (ie. stuff that doesnt actually affect the PC in itself)

I understood he was thinking of also ordering a desktop apart from the laptop on the first post.
