I need some help choosing a new PC. I am completely clueless tbh so buying the bits and putting it together is a no no. I can spend up to about £800 but it needs to have Office and all that on it. Also is there anyway you can watch tele on your computer whilst also working on it as that would save some space on my desk.
Any links to good options would be much appreciated

Very true, i was speccing up a pc to build myself and the cost was gettin ridiculous. building your own pc in 1998 was 1337, not so much now.

I've been messing about on the Dell website this morning and I have come up with this. Can anybody see any major problems with it? It comes out at about £980 which is a little more than I wanted to spend but if this will last then I think I can cope with it.
