Howdy,
Lovely Hubby has a PC which is very old (pretty sure there are mice in there in a wheel making it work) and he would like a new one. Problem is we have no idea where to start as they have moved on so much since we last got one. He does a bit of gaming, internet and music. Anyway I saw one on Groupon for £299.
Packard Bell 1TB desktop PC
1TB hard drive
4GB of RAM
Pentium G620 2.6Ghz
Built-in Wi-Fi capability
Memory card reader
DVD +/- RW
One-year warranty
Comes with Windows 7 Home Premium and Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 pre-installed
Is it a good deal? Are there any bits that are dated already? I just dont have a clue so any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

When you say Gaming - what type of gaming? (i.e. what games).
If you're talking about Call of Duty (or other similar "Shooter" games) then neither of the PCs mentioned in this thread will be suitable, as they don't have a dedicated graphics card.0 -
If you do a bit of gaming, you would better go for amd a series
