    Sounds all good to me, I would think its more than capable of meeting your needs with capacity to spare and the price sounds reasonable, take it that prise includes a copy of windows 7?

    Well to be honest, I am looking at building a new system next year to a very similar specification, different graphics card, slightly faster CPU, 3GHz, smaller HDD, as I already have a 160Gb and a 500Gb,

    I'm Working on a needed budget of around £530,+OS, and with those sort of Specs I would expect around 5 Years before having to or needing to upgrade :)

    Bob,

    I have seen many budget PCs by the likes of Medion and I have had to repair a few too, when you actually break down whats in that spec system you have posted:-
    MOBO - £100.00
    CPU - £130.00 (3.2GHz)
    HDD- 1TB £55.00
    RAM - 4GB £100.00

    Then yes it is a good deal as it includes the OS, case, PSU, etc but the components that Medion use are not as good a quality as the ones that say we would recommend ;)
