(hopefully) Quick Question

    Short version:
    Does anyone know if this PC[link is to argos for those who will feign offence at such things] has a PCI-E slot available?

    One of the customer reviews says it does, a Q+A page on the british site says it doesn't. I can see the Q+A person just reading the specs out of the catalogue though.

    Long version:

    I'm in the market for a new PC and doing the run around for what I was thinking might be my first build, largely so I can get the best bang for my buck even though my buck is very small(500 quid, have monitor, need everything else).

    Then I saw this. Throw in a graphics card and a wireless card, maybe upgrade the PSU, and it looks perfect for my needs (Which are not much: Run Swtor at a playable level and skype simultaneously. That's pretty much it.). But the internet is giving me conflicting info on if that is actually possible.

    I find it hard to believe a modern desktop might come without a PCI-E slot, but it also comes without ethernet so who knows what's going on in there!

    May skip it, if only so I can try my hand at building my own anyway:).
