Title says it all really. It's my birthday in a couple of weeks and i'm looking for a new pc to buy.

What it needs to be:
Fairly cheap - i'll have about £500 so that's the max really or a slight bit above.

UK website - i don't want to have to pay ridiculous shipping charges

Fairly high specs - i'm going to be using this for gaming so a decent graphics card / CPU are needed.

Desktop - No laptops wanted, i've already got one and i don't want another.

Screen and tower - i preferably want a screen aswell although i can probably get a cheap one.


If anyone could look and find me something that meets these things then that would be great thanks.

you won't get anything for £500 that meets all that I don't think

have a look on Dell and PC World's sites

Alienware. They have a UK based website, and are gaming oriented at a bit above that - maybe £600. I think they may be customisable as well, so you might be able to bring that price down.

Maybe?

The lowest alienware i've seen is £699 and that's before i'm even able to see what the thing can do.

Integrated graphics card so that's a no go.

I was considering the third one along on here though:

I have no problem doing this, since I actually just worked up a computer for a friend in your price range. Give me a few minutes and I'll gather the parts on a UK site.


EDIT: Never mind you are looking for a pre-built.

You're not going to get anywhere near your requirements without purchasing components to piece together. Even given that, with the screen included you'll be hard pushed to get a complete box.

*Anyone fancy building me a PC?

Sam will build you one Aaron! A good price and good spec!

PS. Not another dell.
