Right my Dad's after a PC and I've been out of the desktop hardware loop since overclocking bartons was hot. I just use laptops now as I don't really game.

My Dad's partners son will be using it for gaming however hes used to consoles and doesnt really know what he wants - rather than spending hours researching it myself I thought id let you guys make me a recommendation I could trust.

Want to spend about 700 quid, this includes the tower, keyboard mouse and monitor - the rest can be bought at a later date.

Want a good processor, I hear core duo is very good but as I said I don't really know how they compare or anything.

Would like a gaming capable graphics card not too high end just good value.

19" flatscreen?

1Gb memory

Help much appreciated :D

Regards
David
 
This should offer a fairly balanced system for around the budget. It does offer a bit of potential for overclocking as well. :)
