Skyfall on Blu Ray and a bottle of Jim Beam Honey. Tasty evening.

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).

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.

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....  )
