UK tber looking for a new PC

[Asa Samuel]

I'm looking for a new desktop PC, i have a decent sized monitor, a good mouse and a keyboard so i dont need any of those, i just need the main unit.

I want to use it for entertainment purposes, mainly music, some image files and some video games, i dont need that much memory, anywhere above 100-150 gig would probably do.

I'm looking to spend £150-£250 (obviously if its something like 260 or 263 then i'm willing to bend)

an SD card reader and built-in wireless networking would be an added bonus, and i'd be willing to spend a little extra for those.


Any ideas?

I'd have said make your own, but it might cost more than that what you have to spend (to get anything decent-ish)

Any way you can upgrade your current system?

The Harddrive shouldnt be a problem anyways, they are dirt cheap these days, you can get a 500Gb HDD for just over £50

No, its very old, i'd have to replace one hell of alot, i just want rid of it.

I also have a problem with it, it goes extremely laggy very easily and very badly, if i send my webcam to my girlfriend and she has hers on on msn then it does it, and even if i turn them off it stays like that for around 15 mins, sort of "updating" every three seconds, so i click to menu button and it opens a few seconds later, and even just typing and the text appearing on screen takes longer.

I've tried wiping the whole thing and re-installing windows, and that didn't do a thing, so i've had enough so those are two reasons i dont want to update it, i have tried to put a new graphics card in there to help with one of my games but it didn't fit in.

I'd look on ebuyer.com. For the money you have you might be able to get something, but certainly not a gaming machine.

I've decided on a dell PC, so
