PC has Landed!

I have been on the same machine for close to 6 years and having some financial stability now I decided to buy myself a new computer. I actually stumbled on PC Specialist by accident, at the time I wasn’t searching for my new system but saw the advertisement from Google so I visited the site and here we are.

I read a couple of the testimonials and browsed the forum and knew I would place an order here in the future, I used the configurater to save a couple of quotes.

This is my old machine's basic specifications:

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz
RAM: 1024MB RAM
Graphics: ATi RADEON X600 PRO 256MB
HDD: Western Digital WD1600 160GB (7200rpm)
OS: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3

This will be the first time I've experienced Windows other than XP so it's an all around exciting time :)

Case: CoolerMaster HAF 912 Plus Mid Tower Gaming Case
Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 970
RAM: 4GB Samsung Dual-DDR3 1333MHz
Graphics Card: 1GB nVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti
HDD: 640GB WD Caviar Black
Power Supply: Corsair 650W TX Series (TX650)
Processor Cooling: Coolit Eco A.L.C
Soundcard: Onboard 6 channel (5.1) High Def Audio

I believe myself lucky my order was still in pre-production when the GTX 560 Ti became available in the configuration, after seeing a YouTube presentation from nVidia and them featuring this card for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm I felt the urge to amend my order. I’m a WoW player so why not have something up to date which has already been tested on the game I play.

And here it is, arrived at 10:25am GMT this morning (click the thumbnails for higher resolution).

I love it, 80 fps everything on ultra at 1650 x 1080 resolution, not a single screen tear. Not to mention how quiet this machine is, I barely even know its switched on. Hitting the keyboard buttons never sounded so loud.
