excellent pc! worth all 617.74

except norton tho...that devalues it by about 800quid lol
 
lol haha yeah but unfortunately that's the only one on offer and for £10, it's worth it, even if it is norton :)
 
will this be able to handle the latest games for a few years?
 
Good spec for the price would be nicer if it was a Core2Duo rather than AMD-Athlon. But still good never the less.

Yep it will defiantly handle all the latest games at the moment, even running on the highest graphics settings. Should keep running games for the next few years I rekon, even if you have to lower the graphics settings alittle.

P.S. Personally I’d get rid of the Nortan.
 
can get an intel quad 2 for extra 100 but i'm on a budget, don't think i'm going to notice that much difference am i?

Click to expand...

The 8800GT is a good card and the board gives you an option SLI in the future if you need it. The only thing is that AM2 is end of life next year so CPU upgrades will mean a new board in the future.
