well for £600 at pc world your games are not likely to be fast and if they are it will be out of date within 6 months. if its gaming you want. dont go to pc world

you might want 256mb as a minimum but its not the memory you need to be looking at. i have a 256mb radeon and a 128mb radeon and my 128mb radeon pisses all over it. you need to look into things like this

take a look on toms hardware guide. that'll point you in the right direction

I want a black screen as well.

no, 1024mb is 1Gig.

Olly, 600 quid is getting you sod all from pc world, it seems to be a complete rip off and to get anything even worth looking at you need to look at 800+ quid!

Lots of placed do finance - might be worth looking in currys/comets/dixons!




Currys and Dixons are the same company as PC World

pc world is such a rip off compared to online dealers but they do offer finance and you want it today. but if i were you i'd shop around. lots of sites do next day delivery and for £600 you can get a much better system

Hmmm, the Hard drive on that one I showed you isnt great, but thats very easy to upgrade, you could stick with it and if it starts to get full, just fit a second hard drive

From PC World, why not get a Dell you say? Because I can get it on the never never finance and I want it today, I am normally so against this but for such a small amount I needn't worry.

Anyway, want to spend £600, want a good graphics card 256mb minimum, been on there site and I have no clue what I'm looking at, I want a 19 inch flat screen and speakers, any recomendations?
