Need a gaming PC for around 250 pounds

Ok so my current computer is due to be scrapped since it's constantly breaking on me.

Thing is i don't have much cash at the moment so im looking for a gaming PC for under/around the £250 mark.

I only need the tower s i have a decent monitor/kerboard/mouse.

P.S I DON'T WANT TO BUILD IT MYSELF.

Thanks :)

By 'gaming PC' i mean i want to be able to run games for maybe the next year or 2, not on full setting, im happy playing on minimum settings.

that one sounds good machine_B but what about the graphics card it comes with, is it anygood?

Not for gaming, it isn't. It's designed for playing Blu-Rays, and not much else.

If you want to even consider playing games on a $500 computer, you'll have to build it yourself. There was a list I put together for around that much that much, so I'll see if I can find it.

yeah not brilliant but the CPU is good and it has a lot of RAM. perhaps save up for a better card and stickwith that for the meantime. Really, for the pricethe CPU and RAM plus HDD are really good and will last for 2 years easily

Is not a gaming card. When you get it spend the £50-100 for getting you a card, that will actually allow you to play games got the next 1-2 yeard. Of course, if you stay away from newer games, that is a different situation. HOMM3 does not require much in terms of graphics :)

BTW - your card probably won't be able to run Vista in its Aero mode.

Edit: Check this from some hints about low price cards with decent performance
