New pc from PC WORLD only.

Hello all

My insurance company have confirmed they are going to pay me out £540 for my pc, however i will only get a pc world voucher so i will have to get it from there, so what pc should i look at, please note i will only be able to put a max of another £100 to £150.

thanks

Do you need a monitor/keyb/mouse?

i have a 19" sceen aleady and keybroad and mousse are working fine.

This is a refurb, and for the money you get a lot of computer http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/advent...35186-pdt.html

but I would go with this http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-pav...18488-pdt.html

and buy a graphics card and fit it yourself.

replace the graphics card in your own time, or pick up a cheap 260?

beat me by 1 minute!!!!!!! agree with lordie all the way out of everything PCWorld has to offer.

My old flatmate at uni has a Medion desktop his dad got him before he went, and its done nothing but break down, it has the most value unbranded stuff inside it. Thats all I'll say.

It's not just about the core parts, psu, ram, dvd rom are all important.

Is there no way you can sell the PC World voucher and buy a PC from a decent supplier? None of the computers on their site represent value for money.

no the card is registed to me so i can only buy it for my self.

btw guys im only looking for a pc to play game, nothing to complicated as i dont know anything about pc, so need to be able to fix it if it goes wrong.

hello

i would def go for an i5 cpu so you can play anything and later on pop an i7 in if you choose. the one i posted before is the best for money but if you are really worried about it ( i have mine built from PC specialists and i never bother with too many brand names ( when i upgrade etc ) and i never have any problems ) try this one, i personally think its too expensive and would man you adding 200 ish to it http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/dell-studio-xps-8100-650-04144013-pdt.html

it will play games off the mark ( i know its Dell, but looks o.k - ca\n't see PSU though? )
