Went for the HD6950, cheaper card but i forsee me gaming at resolutions of around 1440x900 due to table space and I love my LG monitor. If situations change ive left room in the spec for upgrading of cards etc.

Will be posting a review with pics when it arrives!

That looks like a very nice spec, should play games very well even if decided to go for a new monitor.

The only thing i would say is go for the 5 day fast track option, i ordered 5 day and it was dispatched in 3. I think 3 days is the minimum time for testing etc. (not sure if you can change that now or what)

Sent out this morning, since it's coming to Northern Ireland i'd say the earliest will be Friday morning. Pics and review when it arrives.

Just arrived this morning, two days from the Mainland. Unpackaging tomorrow and then setup on sunday. Pics and a review aswell in due course.

My idiot sister signed for it and I told her to write unchecked ( which she didn't), just incase. Any suggestions?

Got to open it this morning, had a minor panic attack when I removed the packaging inside the case. The CPU fan had been displaced, with the bracket slightly bent. Was able to get it back into position. Was also suprised with the number of cables dislodged, SATA and power for a hd and chassis fan. Apart from that the machine looks fantastic, loving the cable management in the case. Computer is being installed tomorrow so big switch on then. Will get pics up tomorrow.

Hi Chriswar
I am not surprised you had a minor panic attach when you unpackaged your new PC. I would have had a heart attack ! All those bits and pieces displaced and dislodged inside ! How could this have happened ? I would expect all the inards to be fully checked before dispatch.

Im not sure about the cables but I think the dislodgement of the fan was due to the expanding shock absorbing material they place inside the case to protect the innards during transport.
