What do you think of this pc:

I'm not much of a gamer, but as mentioned previously will be multi tasking ansd possibly playing with photo editing and sound editing equipment.

will be using it to watch tv, so could do with a digital TV tuner?

That's actually quite a fair price but I'd beware of E-Bay.

His advertising spiel is well dodgy, lol, he's clearly intending to sell to computer-illiterate folk.

Supports the latest games with DX10 eh? Note that only Windows Vista will play DX10 games.

He offers a three year warranty but it's return to base. Fine if you're near or in Derbyshire but expensive to send back otherwise.

The price is £685.00 inc VAT & postage.

As I said, that's a fair price. Only question mark is whether the supplier can be trusted.

If you want a TV Tuner added, ask for a Hauppage internal tuner card with recording software and a remote control.

Yes, I have This one. It works well.

There are cheaper solutions, depends what your priorities are, you may not need two tuners, you may not need a remote control or recording software I suppose.

But I would go with Hauppage, whatever you choose, they seem to be the best cards out there, by common consensus.
