Best build for £400

[chrisxuk]

Looking to buy a new PC under £400 please

Had a look around the net, but wondering what OcUK can offer. Hopefully it will be better

Not really sure what to suggest. Could do with a monitor though

What do you want to do with your PC? Gaming, movie/media playback, photo editing? A bit of everything?

 

[chrisxuk]

Looks good RJC, bit over budget though

I will be using it for a bit of everything really. Half life 2, Enemy territory, web design, interrnet browsing, school work etc
