Hello,
Just configured a cheap PC on the website pcspecialist.com and I was wondering if there was any advice somebody could give me on what to improve/what could be made cheaper. I want the PC to be able to play games today and in a few years time.
This is my first gaming PC so that is why I am getting the mouse keyboard and monitor, although I am getting the monitor seperately off amazon because it is cheaper.
Here is the PC:

![:( :(]()
)
EDIT: Changed Processor to x4 965 for good measure:
Here are its specs if you didnt know:
Processor (CPU)
AMD PHENOM II X4 965 (3.40GHz/8MB CACHE/AM3) - BLACK EDITION
EDIT:
![:( :(]()
Why is this in the Brands section? Im sure I put it in the Systems section... That explains the brands as the subsections. I am very sure I put this in the Systems section so I think it must be a glitch, infact ive had a couple of odd glitches before on the forum.
EDIT: Yep its glitched, on the title of the page it says systems when im clearly in brands...
But nevermind. If a mod or admin sees this can they PLEASE put it in the Systems section as im not going to get many replies on this if its in this section.
