But I digress, you can do with an i5/8GB

I'm gonna mull this over for a few days before ordering, but I think I've got it locked down. Big thanks bikerdude! You've been most helpful. Are you on Steam btw? I wanna buy you something from your wishlist as thanks. :)

* Hehe apologies, at the end of the day if the extra dosh is better spent on servicing the car/bike or paying a bill then stick with the i5/8gb.
* Your welcome mister, at the end of the day its better for taffers with correctly researched & specc'd machines that will last them a few years some some retail shop junker.

The key he is selling looks like its for both the full and upgrade versions of windows 8.1, and as long as all the feedback that seller has isn't fake then, it looks like a good deal.
The only fly in the ointment is that all the ebay members that left feedback are private, which means the sales were private. If this guy/girl has nothing to hidew why are the sales private..? If you buy via paypal or via credit card to the sellers paypal account then its fairly safe.

The Ebay money back guarantee worked for me on the one occasion I didn't receive what I ordered.

The ebay 'money back guarantee' worked for me on the one occasion I didn't receive what I ordered and I still don't know what when wrong with the order but every other item has been exactly what was stated.

That looks like quite a beast Henke. I'd also buy an office chair with a safety harness and a gum shield.

* I didn't order a heatsink! I thought those come with the CPU, or the motherboard, or something. And the i7 doesn't even FIT ON THIS MOTHERBOARD!
* It's not all good news tho. Turns out the Win8.1 key I bought was an upgrade version. (not the same one I posted earlier, wasn't fast enough to nab that one) Guess I missed the part where it said "Upgrade the system on your PC". Hmm, guess that one's on me
* Hmm, that is unusual. Most intel CPU's when sold in a retail box come with a Heatsink. (update: I screwed up and didnt check the socket type, so have given henke a link to a retail-boxed haswell CPU for that mobo he has.)
* I could have sworn I checked this and or mentioned you should contact the person to check this, that seller is a sneaky git. (update: henke bought a different version to his original link as they were sold out)
