Don't buy, build your own or get one built. You'll get so much more doing it that way.

Dunno, Dells are pretty competitive on price. But if you build yourself you'll get better quality parts; it will cost more more though.

Most places will build it for you if you pick the parts, a lot of computer buffs on here that could put a good spec together for you for your budget.

You could build a PC similar to mine for £500, probably a better specced one as well as I expect prices have gone down since I built it.
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H
Memory: OCZ Platinum PC2 6400 2GB
HDD: 2x 320GB Western Digital
Video: BFG GeForce 8800GT 512MB OC2
PSU: Corsair VX-550W
Put on top of that a case and DVD-RW drive and it'll be just under the £500 mark.
