Value For Money?

[Geordiehc]

I've been look to upgrade my computer recently, not drastically though and wondered if this was a good deal. Basically i'm looking for a nice ish computer around this budget as yes im poor
I don't want anything flashy and the little experience i have in computers says these specs are alright but you know how it is, you wanan check and make sure first with the peeps who know more than you lol <3

p.s any help on getting the best bang for my buck would be appreciated.

What's your budget, just £150?

If so, I'd honestly say not to bother, and save up a little more.

£350 would get you a much better PC (If you self build)

yeah id struggle to get up to 200, i did look at 300 but thats just too much for me to invest.

Basically i jsut want to go from my comp atm, it suits me farely well except its on its last lags lol coz its milleniums old, its 1.7 single core. If it wasnt for the fact that the socet type doesnt support duel id proberbly just upgrade like that but it cant.

Basically all im looking for is something that will run windows 7 and the odd game i play

I walked in to Maplin in November and picked up a MSI Board with AMD64 Quad and 4GB of memory, for less than £150. Everything else I had, so it was just an upgrade of board, chip and mem.

So I would suggest Maplins at the moment, as they have some good deals on go instore.

So would you say yey or ney to this computer? since this is below my budget and seems pretty decent

I'm with Skyline. Save up and get a modern build, I couldn't even price that up to see if it's value for money.

Really, you don't need to spend ££££ on getting a decent upgradable system at all and infact, anything you spend ££££ is going to be a waste on long term.
