A little expensive if all you wanna do on it is that.
I paid £425 for a good spec gaming system only 3 months ago.

That's not a bad shout, if its just for your basic home stuff then it'd tick all the boxes.

Seems ok although it doesn't include a monitor like the Curry's/PC World 'special'.
Watson - As POW said, have a look on eBuyer/Dabs as you'll be able to pick up a better spec for similar price.

THIS
AND THIS
Will be more than enough
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Small hard drive, less ram, less features ect would rather chuck the extra £60 odd for the other one.
Thanks for looking though
