I am about to be given a large amount of money, more money than I could earn in 3 months. It is a bonus being paid to me for 6 years worth of work, all in a lump sum. To that end I have decided to spend part of it on a new pc and save the rest.
I want an uber pc for a change.
I have played around with various websites and clicked on lots of different packages in my "window shopping" dreamworld recently but a friend recommended this site.
Pcspecialists.com

Does this look like a good deal? Or is there something I could change out for a much better value for money. The budget at this point is not a huge deal but I would rather not go too much above the current price if possible at all. I have the money to pay for it right now and the order is up to 2 weeks away and I am massively excited about clicking buy on it and getting it. However I would rather hear some more learned opinions as to the choice of hardware and what might work better. My old rig is gonna get donated to a friend so he can play nc again hopefully.
