The Solid State Drive (SSD) should make your usual desktop stuff fly. The processor has powerful integrated graphics capable of running any game you choose, but the latest ones will need the detail reduced a little.

Windows is German version - english version is out of stock (and dearer). Just use the key that you get with the German one and download an English copy. Details in the Windows guide in my signature.

And don't worry you'll 'f...' it up.

I built a PC this year in May for the first time and it was pretty simple and enjoyable. Only took 6 hours (let me self down on the software side of things).

If i were to build one again i reckon it would take no more than an hour or 2.

So don't rush it and take your time. (And always ground yourself before touching components, either by touching the metal on the inside of the case or wearing a strap)
