I need good graphics, no lag or anything.
I got around £600.. Might be able to stretch a bit though.

Dont mind where its from, as long as its reliable.

The iPower is more of a gaming PC. It's the one I've got and it plays games beautifully. Not really stretched it with crysis n things like that but I've tested it enough :P

Go for the XPS series...

Get one of those and customise it so the GFX Card is an 8800GT.

Hi there

I agree with some previous posts that Dell XPS are good machines. There are also specialist retailers that offer good value gaming PCs:

Some other places to look are:
Scan
Ebuyer
Aria

I hope this helps.
