Just saying hello, had issues trying to register on forums for last week or so, helped finally by a nice PC specialist chap.
Just to give you the specs on my new rig which was ordered on the 3rd May, along with a multitude of changes before I hit on what I was happy with (couldn't ask for help direct from you guys on here because of the regestering peoblem.. just read lot's of posts which help guide me along the way..
Here it is, finally entered building today after I deleted the fan controller option. Treated myself to this because 1: my old PC kicked the bucket a few Months ago and 2: I need a machine to cope with the release of Arma3..... What do you think?
