Hi!
My name is George, and i am going to be getting a high spec gaming desktop for the first time. I have had a look around a few websites, such as www.scan.co.uk and www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk, and i have got a budget of around £1200 including a monitor, would it be ok if someone who knew a little more than i do to look over some of the specifications of the computers to check which ones are better and where they could be improved or recommendations of better ones?

Thanks

PS - Im from UK if that makes any difference
