I'm glad you're happy with it and I guess it doesn't really matter as much when you haven't bought a computer in a while, but 1200 quid is still a lot of money for a decent setup. Plenty of people here who would've helped you getting the same value for less money.

Ah! Then it makes a bit more sense the price you paid! Pfew, what kind of monitor did you buy? A fancy 144hz? (I want one :D)

I see a lot of these on scan.co.uk marked up as gaming monitors but being 60-75hz, think yours is 75. If you can get your hands on a 120hz it will be quite noticeable difference - would actually say such a set up is wasted with that sort of monitor if you plan to play any fast past game (meaning any FPS)

Intel Core i7 3.6ghz = 5+ different CPUs.

Im still on my 4 year old i5 2500k. No reason to change yet really. AMD should wake up and release something that can compete against Intel. Only then will this incremental bullshit stop.

highest i5k is definitly better than medium i7 around the same prize, especially since "k" version overclockable, u can easly put it to +30% and get parameters of 1.5x higher prized i7. Sorry for dissapoint :/
