    Hi guys,

    I'm planning to buy a gaming PC and I'm ordering a rig on Scan UK.
    I'm just wondering if these specs look OK, as I've never ordered a custom PC before and haven't built one either (but I think Scan UK assemble this anyway).
    In terms of gaming, I don't do a whole load on PC at the moment as I've only a laptop and it's not the greatest. But I would plan to do some GTA, BF4 and mid-range intensity games.

    These are slightly modified specs from this page on Scan UK. (It's the first one, G20a)
