okay, a mate wants a PC. He has a budget between £700 - 3900 and wants the best he can get for his cash and be able to play games resonably, he was quoting offers from time, dell etc...

any ideas

Is that from £700 to £3900?

Does he want a complete PC or parts (Self Build?)

I'm guessing he forgot to press shift when he typed the second amount and it should read £700 - £900. :)

How dare you mention Dell and Time in the same sentence.

Time = Fucking Shite
Dell = Dogs Danglies

Whats he going to be using the machine for? Business stuff or games playing?

Dunno, not very techy minded, his mums buying it for his uni studies, but his hidden agenda is too play games, so he was flicking though newpaper adds, had to explain why motherboard + sound combo is bad etc, but the specs on the one i found are really nice for the price.

I found it was cheaper for me to buy the PC than buy all the parts I wanted :)

It used to be that buying a pc bit by bit was cheaper, but (due to wonderous world of economic which i have studied) it is now cheaper to buy the whole PC

Its never been that much cheaper...its main advantage was getting the best parts although a good few PC makers now use the best parts any way :)

I find getting a prebuilt warrentied PC is MUCH cheaper.

Having a Dell engineer on your doorstep at 8am after a hard disk bit the dust that evening saved me a small fortune in lost business, not to mention time.

Try getting a part manufactuerer to do that if you have mail-ordered your parts and built the sucker yourself.

As Embattle rightly points out - you can customise your 'prebuilt' machine pretty well nowadays, even with relativly dodgy suppliers such as Scan.
