Do you have a question about the CCL Alpha Tornado II System?

Q: If I wanted to in a few months or a years time change the gpu from the gt 520 to a radeon 6770 or 6850 could I do it?
Answer by CCL on 7th April
Yes, you would be able to change the graphics card in this system whenever you wished. As this is one of our budget systems and has an entry level power supply, you may also need to upgrade this at the same time, however. -Danlevan

Q: Ive heard that Nvidia did something to help the gt 520 handle games like skyrim and bf3 so can this computer handle skyrim and bf3?
Answer by CCL on 3rd April
This system will certainly be capable of playing those games, however as Battlefield particularly is the current benchmark game and this is a budget system you would not be able to run on highest settings. -Danlevan

Steven on 10th February
Great spec for the money. Also came with a Card Reader installed which was an added bonus. A little noisy (assuming the GFX card fan is contributing to most of the noise) but nothing to worry about unless you intend to use it in the lounge to watch DVD's on your TV. Overall, very impressed.
