I've had great advice from some of you last month but I wasn't quite ready to buy then. I was hoping for some great deals in the January sales - but no such luck.
I ideally only want to spend £400 (this amount does NOT include the monitor, keyboard & mouse).
My kids must be able to play MINECRAFT on it without problems - so good graphics are a must.
That's it really. Could you help me buy a good one?:j

It isn't a very demanding game so you won't need a fancy graphics card any will do. The Ram is probably the most important thing you want to look for. Make sure you have 3gb+Hi.

I suppose I really mean which one is the best for the money.
I was on the brink of buying the Overlockers' one then decided to check out ebay. The one I was linked to on Dinoc was no longer available.
Please help me to make an informed decision.
