Need help with new desktop purchase

Raspberry_Swirl

the computer is official blown/dead. thanks for the information you've all given.

one more question please!

I've been looking at this pc :http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=0&product_uid=123119&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldmlld3M=&filter_display=reviews&filter_order=rating_desc&filter_category=&filter_string=&offset=20

and the reviews are great, but my bf has asked if it's a graphics card or chip. and i'm thinking chip as a couple of reviews have said that it uses 252mb (or something like that) of the hard drive.

is it better to have a card than chip. and does anone have any suggestions for a budget oc (around £300) that might be ok?

The spec states that it has an nVidia GeForce6100 with nForce 405 graphics, so find out more about that. A bit more info here.

yes. and there was nothing.
my neighbour who has built his own pc had a look in the end.

we have some weird anchient pc that doesn't seem to fit any of the standard stuff. we couldn't ever get a graphics card to fit (neither PCR or AGP).

thanks for all the info.
