I`m looking to spend between £600-£800 on a PC and was wondering where I`m going to get the best value for money. Also, if anyone knows any good retailers (high-street or online) which offer some sort of 0% finance, I`d be grateful.

Cheers.

build your own (or ask a friend) ,save money and no whats in the machine .or just make sure u keep away from a on board video card ..........

Go to the local computer shows,buy a case and start building your own,,,,Trust Me,,,Not only will you totaly enjoy doing it and learning,but you will never ever buy a name brand computer again....It's really a piece of cake once you get your hands dirty....After you build it you can always have someone else format your hd and install your OS for you.....In the end you will be glad u did it yourself....All the prices are dropping like fly's as far as hardware and you can really build a monster......

I`ll check that out then. I've built low-spec PCs for other people before, but whenever I've looked to building a top-spec PC for myself I've always been disappointed by the £50-odd quid I'd save by building it myself. Especially as its without a guarantee then.

i too would reccommend that you build your own, it will save you alot of money and there is a great sense of achievement when you have finished it and you have got everything to work.

I would reccommend looking at ebuyer.com for parts , that is where I got all my stuff from when I built my pc.

PC companies (PC World, Time etc) flog their computers by telling you the size of the HDD and the cpu speed. They often neglect to mention the shitty mobo / memory / soundcard or the crap speed of the "large" HDD they shove in which hinders the performance of the whole machine.
(not always the case but see it about wquite often!)
Build one yourself and put EXACTLY what you want into it that will suit your needs!
Who wants a 80Gb HDD that runs at 5400rpm when you can get a faster 60gb 7200rpm (which is more than enough for the average pc user!) for the same price.
Plus if you're in to overclocking, you can get the best memory/cpu for doing it.

I have bought 3 pc's from www.gateway.com and never have had a problem to this date , [3 years]

Try www.buy-atlas.com they are great. They are in US.

I agree you should build your own.

Here are the advantages of building your own vs buying oem:

[list=1]
You know exactly whats in it, so you know where to go to get the latest BIOS, Drivers, Tweak Guides and help on the hardware in your system.
You get better quality hardware for the same price as an oem.
You only have to pay for what you want and need.
You can reuse you old hardware like CD-RW, HDD ect.
Gives an extra special meaning to that My Computer icon on your desktop.
Plus load of other benefits that i just can't think of right now.
[/list=1]

And besides you allready know how to build your own, SO JUST DO IT!!!;)

if you do decide to build your own, send me an e-mail with ANY questions and i'll walk ya through it :p

Just stopping back to see what happened 0BaNaNa0...I and a few others i'm sure, are interested in what you did.....Give us a update Bro...
