Advice on new PC (please)

[Luke77]

Hi, I'm relatively clueless on PC's, I haven't bought one for 4 years and would appreciate some help.

I have about £500 to spend on a base unit (I already have decent monitor, keyboard etc) and would like to know the best ones out there.

I don't really play many games on it (just Football Manager and PES5) and use it to surf the internet, I have broadband. However, I mainly use it for work (Excel) and storing photos and music. I also would like to do a bit of video editing (adobe Premier)

any help would be much appreciated.
thanks
Luke

There are quite a number of PCs out there! So have a look at the sites and when you see something that suits you needs post the link on this forum, you will then have all the positive/negative advice that you require, but heed the warnings here to start you off.

Incidentally are you able to build your own?
