Subject: [Hampshire] Advice on specs for a gaming machine
My son has listed his dream machine for 1080p gaming, (maybe 1440p) in
particular The Witcher 3, FFXIV, GTA V, WoW and Dishonored 2 on its release.

I have no need of a machine costing more than £200 and am in no position
to evaluate his choices. My eyes moisten at the thought of a Raspberry Pi 2.
I was wondering if anybody with experience in these matters could
advise. I just have a feeling that this is overkill.
