Hello, I'm hoping to upgrade to a gaming mini PC soon so I can have more power than a laptop but have some portability.

The link to PC Specialist should work; I'll post the individual components here too though.

It all comes to £1205. Can anyone see anything that won't cut it?

 

Is that i5 Processor fine or is it worth upgrading to i7 4790?

 

Cheers in advance.

Looks like a good build to me. If you can afford the I7 then I suggest getting it. Also 16 GB RAM, its not too much and its not too little. I have 16 GB in mine.

Ok, thanks for your advice.

I have almost exact configuration as yours, except for a slightly weaker graphic card, SF2 flies like a charm. Always on top FPS.
