Nothing to worry about really if it does what you want.  Having said that a new graphics card is on my list, just so one of my games runs a little smoother.  I've been very good and waited probably over a year.  Often I upgrade in the new year, so I might start looking around for something soon.

If you're not a gamer then having graphics over about 5 is more than needed.

This is the first PC I've build for my dad but is his 4th I think. The parts cost about £800 but I didn't skimp. I could've done it for nearer £600 with a bit more thought but he was happy at that price.

I generally say + 50% on any component's speed or you won't notice the difference. That's actual speed not WEI score. I am impressed with the machine. It now has Office etc. in and opening Word for the first time, fresh boot, takes about 2 secs. Those blue circles are a thing of the past. lol

Oh yeah Dave, you've told us your graphics WEI is 3.9  Put a £$50 card in and it'll be much higher. But why bother if it's fast enough?

I don't do anywhere near the gaming that I used to. Heck, I still play Quake 3, and my "newest" game is Guild Wars, so high end graphics for gaming isn't really a priority, but I do waht my 3D renders in Daz Studio and Bryce to go faster than they have, and I don't see much improvement there yet, so I'll probably look for something to help that along some. I just don't think that an improved graphics card will be of much use there, unless there's a way to "tweak" the software to use GPU cycles/memory, in addition to CPU cycles/memory. I haven't seen anything like that yet, but one can always hope.

I found this after doing a Google for "Daz Studio gpu render", it does look like things are moving towards the GPU rendering, I didn't fully read it all though.

SSD drive is up and running, got most of my system back together, taking a break and thought I would test the WEI score and I'm pretty happy with it, the SSD is scoring 7.8 

Computer feels quicker to use for sure and booting time.. well I haven't timed it but it feels a lot quicker. Only had windows in a few hours though. 

Looking good so far.       

Wowsers I am catching you guys up now 

Both my graphics scores leapt up from 6.9 to 7.8 

Looks like it has to be SSD next for me !

Bugger, it beats mine 

The new graphics card is working right then  , excellent 

Haha only by 0.1   

When you reach the high 7's that extra 0.1 costs loads and makes a huge difference.

Cool card. May you have many years of graphic lovelyness.

Thanks Snowy.  Yeah I guess it makes some difference.  This is the most I have spent on a card, probably double what I have in the past.  Found it at a good price though, and it was more or less planned.  Free game included so cannot be bad.

Hopefully this will last me a good couple of years or more.  It will take a while before I can actually get a three monitor set up, but at least the basis for it is in place now if I get taken by madness.

I think SSD should be my next priority though going by what you guys have experienced in terms of performance per pound.

But yeah, nice to have a new toy 

I've watch you build this PC up Freddy, it's turning out to be a great cake, the icing will be the SSD.

What is that old saying?

Once you've had SSD there is no going back, hmm something like that anyway   

Nice scores Freddy 

Thanks I am very pleased with it 

Finally got around to this, thanks to a few tips about print screen from a couple of friends here

Very nice CPU score there Syber, I think it's the best or equal to the best we have seen.

But, and there is a but, your disk score is a little low for that SSD, I did a google on that drive and it seems that 7.6 to 7.7 is the average for it, now I am wondering if you have AHCI enabled on your motherboard.

There is an easy way to check, go to device manger and have a look at the IDE / ATA controllers, you should see an Intel AHCI controller, like in the attached image.  

If it is turned off, don't turn it on yet or windows won't boot, there is a registry tweek that needs doing before you can enable it if you installed windows with it turned off.
