pc world will seriously limit your choices and cost you a lot more than you need to spend, not only that but customer service in pc world is shockingly bad should you have any problems! so i cant stress how much better you would be to buy from a online store.
as to the pc what is you budget? what type of games (any specific ones your after)? do you want a whole system including monitor keyboard mouse etc, or just the base unit?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 -
Budget £1k?
system you've specked is a high end gaming machine, so it would be best for gamers to comment?
