Looks OK. *Personally I would go up a little on the CPU if you're
doing photo editing. *However it should do the job.

mmm I'll have a look - tho seems to get a *bit murky on the CCL
configurator...

You could just swap the CPU for an i3-3220. *Probably wouldn't cost
much more.

I assume you will be using a 64 bit OS?

erm - probably? ;)

You won't be able to get the benefit of 8G RAM without one.

ah ;)

don;t really want the wireless PCI card or the DVD or the graphics
card (mobo has onboard) but don;t seem to be able to remove them in
the configurator.... processor upgrade cost £30 so other bits cost £35
odd...

You can't do everything with the online configurator but they will
build whatever you ask if you phone them up. The main disadvantage is
that any customization takes longer. Taking things off will save you
a bit but not as much as the list price of the components.

Right now though I am not too happy since the delivery of mine has
been thoroughly c*cked up.
