Purchased a Dell PC :)

[Flisker]

Hey,

I know I was going to make a custom PC, however, I couldn't be bothered to wait months just to get 700 odd pounds. So I went on dell and got a PC for 438.99 pounds and I've purchased it and I will upgrade it every now and again

I know the GFX isn't good but I can upgrade it

So what do you think?

[Independent]

Pretty good, If I we're you I'd customize the RAM to a higher spec, but 2GB is around the minimum to use many huge program's (Such as Bryce)

[Recursion]

2GB is fine, 2GB is now the average amount of RAM.

[Zaub]

Good luck upgrading the GFX card with a Dell.

[Flisker]

Whats hard about upgrading a gfx on dell? Open it, Insert new gfx, close it, turn it on.

I don't see the hard part in that...

And I will also beupgrading:

CPU, RAM & probably case

I think it will work out cheaper then custom

[Recursion]

You can't do the case as the motherboard isn't standard. RAM is easy, CPU I think will require a new Vista/XP Key.

An operating system install's on the harddrive, not CPU.

[Flisker]

Its only when you change the motherboard, that you need a new key
