    Just one thing i would say about buying this sort of thing, i dont think im alone when saying this is Dell is fine for the average home user, but much more and they're honestly a load of junk unless you spend a fortune covering this up.

    Im on my dell now, im not buying another one ever again. But thats just my opinion others will probably disagree with me

    From looking at the needs for the computer/laptop its an average home user-ish system he wants.

    Also hitman, hence why i said another system, not the same system with a better gfx card.

    "I'd rather get a decent gfx card for the same price than a crap gfx card though ;S"

    You said you'd rather get a decent gfx card for the same price than a crap gfx card, not system.

    As you said, its an average home user-ish system he wants so what I posted is fine, most average home users dont play games with very demanding graphics.

    You can get a computer with same/better specs for same-ish price with BETTER graphics card, which may not be the EXACT Packard Bell whatever.

    If you want a computer, do you get one with an ancient gfx card or do you get one with a newer gfx card? From what i remember your one had 7300? o.0

    Never argue with an idiot, he'll drag you down to his level, and beat you with experience.

    Good on you! I got a dell roughly just over a year ago and bought a HP under a year later. I had to get my Dell repaired about 5 times and I had to have 3 replacement power adaptors. What was intresting was right after getting my mobo replaced the intergrated graphics weren't werking. The dell was also the cost of £1300 so I am not sure why it was so crap. Also support is useless

    Okay well show us one then, post some links.

    A newer one, but as I said, they usually cost more and you've yet to prove you can get a PC with a better gfx card (and the same specs) than the one I posted for £500.

    You don't get it though... he's using his PC for basic web use, word processing, downloading and one game... I'm sure the gfx I posted would suffice for one game, so long as he isn't super fussy on graphics because I'm sure they're not all that bad.

    Seeing as you recommended a Dell PC and two people have said its crap I guess your recommendations aren't very good.

    The only way to get better specs for that price including a monitor would be custom building and having a pirate OS.
