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.

naaa... 700quid is plenty... if you look around, there are reputable dealers offering 2Gig desktops with 15inch flatscreen montors, 256MB RAM 80Gig HDD, etc... for around 499.99
Which leaves you 200quid to upgrade the graphics card to a 64/128MB GeForce4?

Get the fastest CPU you can afford.
Get plenty of Ram fitted (nothing less than 256Mb)
All hard discs should now be big enough to cope, so the standard drive should be fine.
A good graphics card.
A sound system - i would personally not spend much on this if money is tight.
Most PC's now come with a 56k modem.
100Base ethernet card would be nice as well.
A 15inch CRT screen should be good enough - don't spend loads on a giant screen if you don't need it.

PC world could be good on your budget
If your going to be using your PC mainly for gaming, you'll want one with a decent sized monitor as a 15inch screen is just too small. It may add to the price though.
Do you know if Pc world any good?

evesham.com do nice pcs
you can customise really great pcs at buyanicepc.com too
you most probably want an athlon XP 2100+, with 256/512MB of RAm, A Geforce 4 Ti4400 and a 40GB HDD. Creative make good sound cards. I think Evesham should be the first stop.
