Welcome Blackfoot!

That looks like a great spec. Needless to say, it'll absolutely blow away a four year-old PC, and quite a few new ones too. Mr. Green

Welcome! Hello Blackfoot Its always good to see someone new on the forum, you have chosen very wisely there, lovely setup.

There is a word you mentioned that I dispise, and that is ADVENT which you got from PC world and I have been stung by that horrible customer hating firm 3 times. Wink

We would all love Pictures of your new computer when it arrives, what a difference a Vadim from an Advance, is like getting a Rolls Royce having used a lada Very Happy
