| New PC spec - opinions wanted
I had been thinking of holding off till Jan and seeing if any deals are about (or discounts) but my desktop is acting up a bit so have thought I may order prior to Christmas.
PC will be for gaming, watching movies and sorting out my photo's & video files. I tend to also do several things at once hence going for this type of CPU over a dual.

Did the same spec using Q9550 and similar m/board & ram and came in about £130 cheaper so decided to stretch the extra
I'm looking for something to last a few years anyway. Pricewise it's an eyewatering £1876.00
Is it a good spec for the money? Should I be looking at anything else?
