What desktop computer to buy for my needs?

Cisco001

celeron 1037u is slow. But the ebuyer 130 machine is faster than the one offer by your techie guy is slower.
If u got the money, I suggest u get i3

Looks ok but no keyboard and mouse so think that's a bit out of budget. Guess I'm asking what's best for my needs now then look at how much they are instead of setting my budget. What do you think?

If u don't want to spend that much. I suggest u go for Intel g3250 instead.

Micro ATX case with motherboard with socket with LGA1150 will allow u to have plenty of upgrade option in future.


By the way, u are replacing existing desktop, why do u need another keyboard and mouse?
New set of keyboard and mouse would only cost u another 15

That's an excellent price, but then again, you can get laptops new for like £220 now.

And laptop CPU is slower than desktop. Harder to upgrade and repair

No DVD Writer, in the case of the OP wanting one.

Ok I can use my existing keyboard and mouse but wasn't sure I would be able to. Yes I need dvd or cd.
Any others that fit the bill or are we still only with the Lenovo.
Thanks for any suggestions

Thanks but I think then adding £199 for 8.1 isn't quite what I think is worth it for a new desktop which I don't really use as much as my iPad. Thanks tho.

umm , a quick look on ebay shows about £50


or you could download the iso from Microsoft , and "patch" it

Any other suggestions to put in the pot as seems the Lenovo is winning at the mo. I could google but not sure what I'm searching for so as to get some results to compare so do need help from all of you on here who know more than me about the specs. TIA.
