£395.96 gets you a RIG capable of running modern warfare 3. youll have to buy a windows 7 disc or phone them and try and seal a deal for one installed.

Quad Core 2.7 Processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB Hard Drive, On board graphics but should be good enough if not playing the latest and greatest games. Plus you can always save up for a graphics card later on. You'd be looking to spend about £70 on one.
This machine doesn't have cooling systems etc - it's not made for hard core gaming. It should be ok for what you need. And I'm pretty sure it's the cheapest you'll be able to find for what you want to do.

the spec in the one i posted earlier in the thread would serve you pretty well

the novatech barbone one runs at quadcore 3.6ghz. it has onbourd graphics chip, 760gb HD purchased extra you could ditch the graphicscard and buy windows 7. and save for a graphics card later.

if this was me it would be my buy, im an avid gamer i'd recommend what ive posted purely because its more modern faster than some has posted and upgradable ,looks smart, and if you do alot of things at once for college./uni the Hardrive is large enough for gaming and storing whilst being powerfull enough to have multiple media windows at once without compramise on the system.

Thanks a lot for all your help you've been tremendous! Just to update, i now have a budget of £500, would i get anything much better for that?

As a side note, what about this for £400 made by Zoostorm,
Intel Core i3-2120 3.3GHz
500GB HDD
8GB RAM
DVD Writer
NVIDIA GeForce GT430
Windows 7 Home Premium 64

Thanks a lot, i know ive been picky!

Bumpedy do!

That should work fine for what you want to play. If you can get the Intel core i5 and maybe a slightly better graphics card in your budget then you'll get much better longevity though. But only worth it if it truly is within your budget and if you want to play the newer games and continue to do so in the future.

Thanks a lot, just noticed it's out of stock at the moment, gutted!

alternatively i can get this also by Zoostorm:

Intel Core i5-2320 3.0GHz
6GB RAM
500GB HDD
DVD Writer
Intel HD 2000
Windows 7 Home Premium 64

get that rather than the i3, i have nearly the same spec machine(except i have 8gb ram) and it plays everything at max settings, even star wars the old republic also pick yourself up a cheap graphics card like http://www.ebuyer.com/242834-asus-gt-430-1gb-ddr3-dvi-vga-hdmi-out-pci-e-graphics-card-engt430-di-1gd3-lp--
