Please see the components below, and feel free to leave your suggestion.

Processor

Max Turbo Frequency 3.6Ghz
Cache: 6MB

Optical Drive
DVDRW

Hard Drive
2TB SATA HDD (Will require a SDD as well)

Graphics
2GB nVidia GTX760 Graphics Card

Audio

I have no information on the Motherboard because it's found on Ebuyer the whole system is £641.52.

Please feel free do leave comments and let me know whether my decision is correct or there's an alternative. Many thanks!
