Oh well went to talk to my brother this morning and he said he bought the Acer as there was only one left lol... never mind, personally think it looks alright, he managed to knock them down further on the price too. At the end of the day all he really does is go on Betfair! Still overkill imo, but he just got a bit obsessed with specifications

When you can get windows and a legit windows key at that and download for the the OS for £10... number two all the way

Number two, but he could get a fair bit cheaper system if he's only going to use it for browsing. Massive overkill with an i7

Windows keys... you dont get the key you get the crack, and that includes all updates.

2 was the best option 100%

The SLIC exploit and the KMS 'exploit' can both (apparently) be disabled with an update, so whilst it works it's incredibly risky.

And anyway, it's only £80 for the retail copy which should be nothing to a 'Gansta' like yourself who's 'making bank' and has 'bare stacks'

HD 8570 graphics

Gaming PC indeed

You can get official versions of windows for 40 quid easily. But it won't come with customer support.
