Yet another newbie!

Hi

Just registered. Looks like a well-populated user-friendly site.

Am looking to buy my first desktop for several years and trying to figure out what to go for. I anticipate doing some basic photo-editing, frequent internet use and a spot of gaming (not-online though). Will probably be looking to set up iTunes or something similar as well.

Would appreciate any advice on whether to go for a £600 approx or £1,000 approx PC. And if so, which manufacturer?

Cheers,


Adam

Hello & Welcome

Hi & Welcome to PCReview

Mesh are very poor & get bad reviews, Dell make great PC's & if you contact them direct they will sometimes build to order, so you get what you really want

Hi and welcome to the site

Have you thought of BYO? plenty of help available here you will have what you need that way

Hi


I assume you mean Build Your Own? I'm not confident enough in my ability to construct a working machine. Though I do like the idea! Perhaps in a few years' time. And presumably there'd be no comprehensive warranty, just one for each component?

Cheers

Yes BYO = Build your own, just a thought anyways there are so many to choose from, it is the luck of the draw really, what did you need altogether is it just the PC or all that goes with it Monitor Etc:

 

[adamsim]

PC, monitor (flat-screen min 17") and speakers

And add one of these

Read all the reviews on their site I only deal with this company and have no problems though others have, but as I say it is the luck of the draw.
