Does this spec seem to you? It will be used for absolutely everything. I want it to last for ages, if not forever lol!
Couple of questions...
I cant justify spending £400+ on the next level processor - i7 29-20XM Extreme. Will i really notice the difference if i don't choose it?
Will i notice the difference choosing a 5400rpm HDD rather than a 7200rpm HDD? The solid state will be used for program installs and the second for storage of documents, pics, music etc.
Also will i notice the difference with the higher spec SSD drive?
Is the special offer graphics card really worth the extra £60. Would you choose it?
Also which wireless card is better. The selected card - the Intel Ultimate N6300 and the Lan Killer 1102 are both the same price. Which should i go for. Obviously want the fastest one with the best connection/signal.
I think thats it.
Thanks for your help in advance, please let me know if there's anything you think i should know!!
