Looks OK for the prize, except it has no SSD. An SSD is crucial these days imo.

Drop the 16GB into 8GB. The CPU has an integrated GPU, check if it handles the resolution you need. If so, drop the GPU, add SSD.

thx guys.Unfortunately this company don't customise.

Would you have just a ssd, or a primary ssd and secondary physical?

I know a lot of people love ssd for hud/hem but I've heard they can be unreliable.

SSD for OS and time-critical applications + secondary HDD is usually the way to go unless you simply don't need that much space.

I run two SSDs in a RAID1 setup for more than 6 months now, so far everything's fine.
