Lookign for a new PC around £500-£600

Hi

Currently I have a Dell Dimension 3100 (P4, 2Gig, 80hd +320Gig HDD), I've had this machine for about 4 years now and thought it maybe time to upgrade as I have maxed out the specs.

I'm not a gamer(well not on PC I prefer my xbox) but do like to do a bit of photo/video editing, emails,surfing etc.

Any recommendations.

Could you recomend some sites its been a while. I checked Dell and quiet like the Dell Zino machines. I also checking out ebuyer but not sure if there are btter ones out there.

Mesh builds 'can' be quite good, just pray to God that you never get a problem with it. Personally because of the amount of stress and hassle I've had from them, I'd say avoid like the plague.

I'm happy with my mesh I got a few years ago, a hard drive went wrong after a bit less than a year and they couriered me a new one when i sent them the faulty one.

Re: Lookign for a new PC around £500-£600

you can save 50 quid to go towards your OS by using a 5670 instead of the 5770 as a none gamer that will do nicely

You would also be better off with a modular PSU to aid in cable management
