A new pc

[berty]

Its time for a new pc.

My last 3 have all been Dells and have served me well.
My Dell E520 is about 7 years old now. I've always gone for a modest setup since I have never been a hardcore gamer.
But now I really want to splash out.

My budget is £1500.

Requirements....
No Windows 8, it' horrid. Windows 7 Pro seems to be the best choice and supported till 2020.
An SSD as the c drive and at least a 1TB second drive.
A decent graphics card.
A blu ray drive.

Monitors/keyboards/mice I already have.

I want it ready built/OS installed. - I know you can save money by buying the components and building it yourself but I
really can't be bothered.

After a few days of research I'm liking this from Novatech...

A blu ray drive would have to be added seperately with this setup.

Any other suggestions ?

Windows 7 Pro and a Dell 24" monitor.

Should be here Tuesday.

Its replacing my Dell E520 - a very reliable pc, it's never given me any bother but it's way too old now.

That's a nice PC.

Do you play games? It's got a fair amount of 'grunt'

I'm not a hardcore gamer but I do play games.
But in this instance I went for the best pc/monitor combo for my budget.

It arrived this morning but haven't had a chance to put it through its paces but it certainly is a crazy fast
pc. The OS is on the ssd drive and the boot time is phenomenal.
