silly question, in the £700 do you need to budget for a monitor?Drop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -

Not really, I have a nice 19" monitor already which I'm using with my old pc, I also have a decent keyboard so don't really need a new one of those either.
Speaking to a friend last night he suggested a Dell as they are pretty good?0 -
ok without a monitor

Or...
Get an extra graphics card and monitor, and have a 2-monitor setup - loads of breathing space on the desktop ;-)0 -

I'd get a £700 PC at best value I can find (pref a dell or sony), flog it for near full value (dell / sony probably easier to sell), and then spend £300 on a PC which will do everything you need, and pocket the rest.0
