A bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, expensive but anyone that's tasted it understands it's actually a bargain..:)

Thank you, kind sir - it's meant to last me 5 or 6 years (with occasional Gfx card upgrades). :)

i5?!......why not an i7?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Looks very nice, and Chillblast seems to have good reviews from what I seen ( I take it that's where you've got it from). I wonder what the price would be to build it yourself compared to their price. After the hassle from MESH my comp is getting onto around 4-5 years now so I need to start thinking of a replacement and start saving up. Let us know your experience and how the machine is if poss. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Mainly because most of the review sites indicated that the i5 3570k was the best processor for gaming - the i7 gave no discernible (gaming) benefit for the extra £100 cost; I preferred to spend the money on the Graphics card.

The mobo will allow me to upgrade if things change in the future....

(Yes, it is from Chillblast - re the 'build vs buy' option, the CBA factor won....;))
