Game machine

14themoney · 12 Dec 2012 at 15:53

Hi everyone
I'm looking for a starter game machine with a budget of £650-700.
I would want the computer complete with monitor, maybe 21", keyboard and mouse, internet access and OS.
I know £650-700 is a bit on the low side but thats all the funds available.
I would like the pc ready built as self build is out of the equation.

I'm not really up to date with current hardware so any help would be greatly appreciated.

John

Confused what you mean by Internet Access? Do you have a network cable or require Wifi?

what do you want the pc for? mainly etc programs / games etc or a mix.

if you don't play games then you dont need a mid range vga card etc so can spend more or better bits etc

Pc would be for son who wants to play games mainly, also browse Internet, chat etc

So pc would require a better video card for the games. He can always upgrade the pc later when he has funds to spend

This guy clearly didn't read the title -_-. Anyways, you'd find a good deal in the bundles and stuff, but then you would need to buy a monitor, keyboard and mouse..

did read it tbh, but saying wants a gaming machine (I would want the computer complete with monitor, maybe 21", keyboard and mouse, internet access and OS.)

and all above, then not really going to be a hard core rig is it, so was asking what type a casual gamer i was guessing so was going to do a custom build on that suggestion but as your reply was so nicely worded maybe instead of trying to flame others you try and help yourself as you seem very keen on reading.

second time today after asking a simple question some smart person replied like yourself, such nice people you both are, thanks and merry christmas

always nice to see such helpful posts / members

i had a reply from the thread poster, which helped build a better picture of what was wanted, your reply got what? a laugh. your post count higher?

never mind
