Evening gents.
I'm got a little bit of cash put aside now, and I want to buy a new PC. I have about £800 to spend.
Preferably, I'd like to buy the whole system together (although I'm willing to shop around for the monitor). I know you may tell me to get them separately and build it, but I don't have the time or patience for that at the minute.
I'm looking for a minimum of 4Gb. I'm not going to be gaming too much, but might dabble if the need arises.
Any ideas where I should look? Tried Overclockers, but there aren't too many complete systems on there.

Why do you want to spend £800?
You could get a decent spec PC with 4GB RAM for a lot less than that. Unless you're going hardcore gaming or graphics then there's really no need.

Speak to JJEdmunds. He builds systems for a living, for 800 quid he'd set you up with a system that would cost much, much more than that elsewhere.

And he's a fucking rip-off merchant. If you want to go and buy a complete system then dabs is a good site. Personally, I'd build one myself for £400 a pocket the change  |

basically it depends on what you want to use the pc for?
if it's just web browsing and wrod documents then you can save half your money.
If it's gaming then spend the lot and build yourself a decent syste,
Buying new or pre built you wont get anywhere near the best parts for your money as building it yourself.
JJ will build it for you or SiPi. i would offer also but i live miles away.
Do you need a full system? Monitor, Keyboard etc?

For my youngest lad's 16th birthday..he got 200 notes as he announced he was going to build himself a new computer. I thought he was having a laugh...and thought 200 down the drain, but it's up to him.
Lo and behold, he orders these bits direct from fucking Korea or somewhere, which get shipped into Tilbury docks...knocks together all the bits, and ends up with something that looks like a psychedelic, tropical fish tank....and the bugger actually works.
....this is a modern world.
