I am looking to buy a pc in the £500 - £700 price range, have looked at many sites, I like novatech the best atm, and they seem to have a good rep on these boards, so I should be able to sleep safe if my comp doesn't work. First of all i looked at this system: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...e.html?PC-2004 the only thing that worries me is the poor graphics card, as i want to be able to play current and future games (not necessarily at high spec, but don't want to have to spend another £200 in a years time) I asked them if they could swap it for an 8800gt but they said no

This is the motherboard that comes with it: https://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/...tml?MSI-G33MFI don't know too much about mobo's so if anyone can tell me is it's a decent one that will last 4+ years and that is upgradeable i would be much appreciated

I have considered building up my own, but got frightened at the prospect of me breaking an expensive CPU, however i came across a pre-assembled barebones bundle at novatech http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s....html?BB-E675P which only require simple add-ons such as graphics cards and hard disks which i think i can manage, the only thing that worries me there is the PSU, i was under the impression that 500w+ was needed in most modern systems.

If anyone can give any advice/feedback on these system i would be much appreciated, or if they know a similar good system that would be great too.
