"What PC should i get?"

I'm on the look out for a PC.My main use would be playing games and using the internet for SR/ online gaming. I will have a budget of 700 quid.

My spec's would be:

loads of memory
fast modem
could play the lastest games
3D graphics card
Good speakers

As for screem i'm not too bothered as long as it's sharp and it you can see the action on the screen clearly.

I you've got a PC or thinking of getting one then could you please tell me any information you've found.

He wouldn't be the only one with two PCs.
*points at screen*
*realises you can't see who he's pointng at*
*stops poining*

Loads of stuff.

Well, with a budget of £700, you're not going to get much in this day an age. Maybe you should just stick to a Maxx PC then :-)

plus no mention of sound card....

Or, the £100 would have to go towards a Modem.

I found a PC at PC World...it looks like a good deal.

Pcworld for £599, so, that leaves you with £100 for a scanner, or to upgrade.


Features
— Intel Celeron 1.3GHZ Processor
— 128Mb SDRAM
— 15 inch Monitor (13.8 viewable screen)
— 40Gb Hard Drive
— 16x DVD-ROM
— Intel 810e graphics
— PACKARD BELL DIAMOND FLATBED SCANNER
— PC LINE WEBCAM WEB CAMERA
— PC LINE USB A-B 1.8M USB CABLE
— EPSON C42 PLUS INKJET PRINTER

Either that, or it'll have to be a Maxx PC!

also www.evesham.com make decent PCs.

Yopu might want to consider broadband if it is in your area. You will appreciate the difference

If you want gaming PCs, seriously, MAXX PC's are kick-ass. They're not too expensive and they're customisable, and of course it is SR so they'll give you a guarantee and you'll have decent customer service in the event of a breakdown.
