I need something pretty fast for my office and photo editing work. At the moment I have an aged Medion that is slow and about 8 years old from Aldi. I need something around 4-6 gb ram and around 500 GB drive. Up to now I have been advised by a friend that Ebuyer have the best deals out there. I have seen this but if anyone knows of a better deal (with cashback and or vouchers) I wouldbe very grateful.
This is what I have seen up to now as I wish to spend no more than £400

Can I ask what the PC is to be used for primarily? Is it to be a gaming machine, mostly Internet, films etc.
This will give a better idea whether you need to ensure a good graphics accord is included in the price, or of the money could be better spent on other components.
Also, what is the state of your current monitor, and what type is it? The machine you posted does not come with a new screen so I guess you're happy with what you have?Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.- Mark TwainArguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are at chess, its just going to knock over the pieces and strut around like its victorious.0 -
It's mainly internet business use, editing photos and sounds. I already have a very good quality Dell 2209WA monitor.0

So really, the RAM and CPU clock speed are of little relevance, and the graphics card only needs to be reasonable.
I'd be inclined to suggest one of the following as being adequate:
