Hi PC genius people. Bit o advice please!!!

Wanting to buy a new PC. Chose all the specs and got a quote... Just want to know what you all think about this? Is the CPU and MOBO ok? Ofc i can get better but at a higher price aswell. I chose the lowest spec of the most top of the line range. Just want to know if this will hold me and my gaming addiction on the front lines for a few years?

ROFL @ PC Zone.
They are the biggest cheapskates EVER!!
Try and return anything to them thats faulty. Plus they use the lowest of low pc components.
Out of 4 computers bought from them, all 4 died within 6 months. Mostly PSU and Memory going first. Oh and they did not get either of them fixed or replaced :-/.

Please back that up with some facts, I do know a good few years ago they used a really crap motherboard brand (cannot remember now) but these days it's all Gigabyte or Intel. Hard drives are Seagate, WD & Samsung. Ram is the normal stuff you get everywhere else.

Their service sucks donkey balls though.

I have bought 3 laptops and a desktop from pc zone and so far so good. Had The desktop since jan and the laptops range from 3 years to 10 months old. I had a problem with the first laptop which was an hp and after 2 years the vga went. Which was a known problem with that model
