Hi,
I need a new dell PC,
I want to play games (fifa online) and download things. I want it to be quite fast running and be able store a fair bit. I want a 19" monitor.
I have seen the dimension 9200 which has a intel viiv core processor is this any good?
I got the price to £729 with the gforce video card I want.
I just need some help incase there is a better PC for the same sort of price. Any help appreciated

The best deal at the moment is E-value code 200-01922. Around £100 higher than your figure but well, well worth it:

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6600 Processor (2.4GHz, 1066MHz, 4MB)
Windows® XP Home Edition (Incl Operating System Re-installation CD)
2048MB Dual Channel DDR2 533MHz [2x1024]
Dell™ Black Enhanced USB Multimedia Keyboard - UK/Ire (QWERTY)
Dell™ 20" Black Wide Flat Panel (E207WFP) - UK/Irish
256MB nVidia® GeForce® 7900GS graphics card
320GB Serial ATA RAID 0 Stripe [2x160GB 7200rpm drives]
Internal 13-in-1 Media Card Reader
Dell 2 Button USB Scroll Optical Mouse - Black
16x DVD +/- RW Drive
Integrated Audio with Dolby Digital 7.1 capability

£856.57 delivered

5.5% through Quidco brings it down to close to £800

imho

Have a look on Dell outlet. be much cheaper there,and if you can get the free delivery they often do,you will save another £50-60 .

Unfortunately, their keyboards appear to lack '.' or shift keys.

Hi. I just got this:

£650:
Intel® Viiv™ Core® 2 Duo® E6400 2.13GHz
2048MB Dual Channel DDR2 533MHz [2x1024] Memory
320GB (7200rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive with 8MB DataBurst™ cache
256MB Nvidia GeForce 7300 TurboCache graphics card
Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005
MCE to Vista Premium Upgrade (Free)
Dell™ 19" Value Flat Panel
Upgrade to ultra sharp, usually £41.
16x DVD +/- RW Drive
Collect & Return, 1 Year Service only
Dell 5650 5.1 Surrond System, usually £41 with a PC.

Graphics card is pants for games but I save enough money to buy a MUCH better one than Dell can offer for the money (I think...). I can also make a tidy £35 profit selling the surround on ebay, but they look like good speakers so I may keep them.
