If you can get more money the coming two/three months I'd suggest to save.. really..

Perhaps for 100 or 200 more pounds you can get a system that's times better than this.

If you want you can only spend money on a new CPU, motherboard and graphics card and just install it in the existing case you already have.

But I think you want something pre-built. Amirite?

I can't agree more... when you're on a super tight budget, using pre-built stuff can only be of benefit in the following two situations (that I've experienced):

- You don't already have a copy of the OS you want to use [and can't "obtain" it]
- You're mates with the shop owner and you can get everything pre-built at wholesale prices :mrgreen:

Basically saving up, even if it's 20-50 pounds a week, will be a much better choice than buying now.

If you look in Careless' signature, or just at this link [and change the currency to GPB], you'd want something along the "Fair" and "Good" range, so just around double your budget.

Anything below that and honestly you might as well just stick with the laptop IMO :)

Thank god to Careless's link.... It has helped.

I could get a decent PC to run PR 1 and PR 2 easily. For <$650 (w/o tax and shipping)


Well, time to save money...
