    really not a great gaming pc, slow hard drive and very low powered Graphics card = :( (and the description is different from the pc title :s to top it off - states quad core cpu in the title however under description has only got a duel core cpu) also doesnt appear to come with windows 7 installed as thats a add on which would be another ~ £120 according to the site which is shocking

    now something like these below would probably be my 'base' unit (ie the sort of spec i would be looking around for a gaming system)

    http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/configurePrd.asp?idproduct=1006
    or
    http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/Gallant-AMD-560-94p1144.htm

    (I have not personally used DinoPC, however they have been around for a while now and the only consistantly bad comments about them appear to be around their delivery estimates being a little optimistic)

    this http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-graphics-card-gaming-performance,3042-7.html is a good site to compare graphics card on - for (reasonable) performance in gaming you want to be looking at anything above the level of the nvidia GTS 450 or the ATI HD 5750

    of course i expect we could get something which will be reasonable for a less money (if you want to spend less), and others might find even better deals than the above as thats just a quick 5 min search

    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)
