    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)
