It will be a steam or uplay code, when you enter the code the game will add to the account you are using, then you will get the option to download it. It's not automatic I personally never put a PC on the floor, they are dust traps, so pop it in a desk that will allow it plenty of room to...

If building the PC yourself is his main problem, why not just ask for a built to spec PC? You can get one built to your exact specifications for about £60 more than a build-it-yourself system (I'm in the UK, have no idea what that is in $) Also building your PC yourself teaches basically...

Ahh oh well, sorry I can't be of more help Oh and as far as using more than 1 monitor is concerned, I do that with mine sometimes, I have mine HDMI into my TV which is next to my PC, and sometimes use it for browsing etc or watching TV while I'm editing graphics or playing casual games such as...

So the AMD route would be fine for me? I've always had Nvidia cards so I wasn't sure really! 290 is around £300 290x is around £400 so I wasn't sure which would be the better value as I'd heard the 290x wasn't that much different to the 290 at 1080 Thanks for the replies so far :)
