Is this a good deal?
 

Looking to buy a pc that generally performs at a decent level mostly for general things (surfing net, storing music/videos etc) w/ slight emphasis on gaming. Price range about 500-700 quid.

How is this offer from dell ?

Would you say this is reasonable ?

If not, what you recommend that's better.

Cheers.

Its ok the gfx is a let down though

You wont get much better for the money. The graphics can easily be upgraded if you are into games but otherwise, its a very solid machine. Dell 17" TFTs are awesome as well so I'd say its well worth it.
