So I'm getting my room revamped and I'm also getting a new computer. I've only got a £500 budget as I'm poor and still in school haha. I must also stress that the computer has to come with a monitor.

The computer I'm getting just basically needs to be good for editing, graphic design and for minecraft to run smoothly :P

i know this is over budget, but if you bought this pre-built it would cost over £1000

Yeah man, I honestly wouldn't be able to make my own :/ And £500 is the very highest I can go.

the processor sucks, but its not bad i suppose
look around, you could probably find a pre-built i3 PC for that price

like this would be better - im sure you could scrape the £90 ish

you need to have the intel core i7 vpro processor, make sure youve got enough RAM too, 2gb is fine but if you can budget it in get 4gb. nvidia for graphics geforce GTX etc.

No idea what you just said, but cheers.

I found someone selling a Mac near where I live...


20 inch iMac
2.4 GHZ Intel Core Duo
8 GB of Ram (Upgraded from the default 8GB)
500 GB Harddrive
OS X 10.6 pre-installed

£450... good deal or not? People keep telling me that Apple is shit.
