We're looking at getting my dad a new PC for Christmas because his current laptop is dog slow. We've got around £500-£550 to spend and that's got to include the tower and monitor.
He will probably be using it for browsing the internet, using office, storing his pictures and the odd game of mahjong. This is what I've got but could do with a graphics card but not sure what to go for. Any recommendations or changes?
