There are a fewfew walls between where PC will be and the UPC modem. At the moment WiFi is good on my smart phone there, but weak on my PC, so we use Power line plugs which work OK.
What should I look out for when buying new PC?
Understand PC specs and technology fairly well, not not confident buying new PC that I'm hoping will be good for 5/6 years.
Should I buy a PC in somewhere like PC World or would I be better getting one made to measure? Where?
Was looking at Chillblast Fusion Obelisk. Its 700 sterling. Would it be way over the top for what I need? Love my computer and would love a really good one( i5 maybe?). I can spend up to €1000. Looking forward to replies.
