Looking for a PC..

[AgnesIO]

Ok, I am looking for a computer for a friend.

They would like 4gb ram and a quad core processor, with a decent hard drive (doesn't need to be massive, but a fairly good size would be good). They mainly use it for movies, downloading things, but also some other stuff. A monitor is not needed.

Any suggestions? (Apart from simply putting dell.co.uk or something!)

No its not So Buring films is to do with you internet speed I think not

[Rapidshare]

Why you chatting about downloading movies and songs under a certain time then.

Are you building it, or buying it online instore? blahblah

[saby12]

Building your own pc is better

Im right, your wrong

I would highly recommend building it, but have a look at prebuilt ones on ebuyer and stuff, Dell is good to!

Building your own pc is better

This used to be true due to manufacturers taking overhead however nowadays because they buy in bulk it can be more expensive to build it yourself. You also then have problems with support, warranty e.t.c.

[AgnesIO]

Instead of talking about 'downloading songs off the internet' (which is not relevant to buying a pc at all..), can someone actually help?

I do not need to be told that building is better though tbf, I built my £1100 pc, but this is for a friend who is not 'tech-savvy'.

Sorry to be a bit rude, but genuine help is always appreciated..

Rapidshare: Preferably it would be good if it could be built in store, unless somebody builds a decent spec one on ebuyer?

[Jack!]

have you tried bulding one to your freinds specs on Dell, Dell are helpfull for things like this

[AgnesIO]

If I hadn't triied simply on dell I wouldn't be asking lol

If you need more graphics power, simply slot a 5770 in.

First one of those wont take a full size PCI(-E) card, and both will probably need new PSUs.

ew Acer.

I have an Acer quad core mini tower (Q8200) I picked up for 200 pounds new last Christmas and it has served me very well.
