need to buy a new pc as my last one was really old and i didn't bother getting it fixed.I was looking at this one from dinopc

http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/configurePrd.asp?idproduct=389&qty=1

its at £699 but once i remove blu-ray drive and hardrive and other hardware i have already got it come to around £530. Is it a good price? it has a good processor, however i know that the i7 are here. i wont really need a great graphics card as i have a ps3 and an xbox, the only thing I'm not sure about is the mobo its quite good for my needs but it won't do sli/crossfire so not very future proof on the other hand it will take up to 16GB of ram for the future I'm not that good with PCs and would appreciate your advice.

Thanks

Seems like a good pc, really it wouldnt NEED anything, if you wanted to make the most from its CPU then it might be worth upgrading its video card.

why don't you build your own computer. you get much more value, and you get exactly what you want

people always think building your own is very hard. it is not, it actually is very simple. but if you really dont want to check out this company for prebuilts, they are the best. www.digitalstormonline.com
