Posted this in the gaming forum and then realised this place existed, so ummm here's the same post again.
Looking into getting a PC and to be honest I know jack all about computers these days. So I'd be greatful of any advice you can give me on specs to be looking for. I want a good PC that won't need to be upgraded for a while, doesn't have to be top of the range though.
Oh and also where's a good place to look for one? I'm the sort of idiot who buys the first one he sets eyes on when he walks into PC world so I really could do with some advice.
Oh and please don't tell me I'd be best off making it myself. I know it'd probably work out a lot cheaper but I have neither the time or the L337 skills for something like that.
Cheers for the help...if you helped.

Buy a MESH.
I have one. I've always bought from them. It's whack.

I've got 5 DELL's - 3 desktops and 2 laptops. Very happy...
(I always paid the extra and gone for 3 years onsite hardware warranty - it's good for the piece of mind and I've used them for a new harddrive and a laptop mobo).

Ah, I see.
Things like that are generally fine, it tends to be anything more "complex" - e.g. the PSU has different connectors on for the mobo, so you can't easily upgrade the motherboard or PSU. I think I'm correct in saying there have been some upgrade issues with graphics cards as well.
Weird.
Mine works fine and runs everything in a sturdy reliable way. Also the upgrades have been easy sorted (chucked in a new DVD and HD a few months back, a friend put a new modem and ethernet card in a few years back to).
I did get it in '99 so perhaps they've gotten worse since then.

End of discussion.
They also are absolute sh*te for upgrading...
