Simpleton asking - please help

[lazyitus]

Right, don't laugh !

I've had my home computer for about 6 years, it has a monitor the size of a dog kennel and it runs Windows ME and I bought it from Tinyworld back in the days. It's shit, to be fair.

It's long overdue a replacement and so I am in the market.

My requirments are straight forward - I want to be able to play GT Legends (as I bought this ages ago but didn't realise it wouldn't run on millenium) and I want to have the ability to occassionally plug it into my 42" plasma.

Thats all...

Where do I shop for the best package deal and can I get something suitable within a £350-£400 budget?

Please help

Cheers
Lazy

dell, novatech, aria or mesh should be able to sort you out.
Maybe get an issue of computer shopper or micro mart and look for a nice deal

(I paid £400 about 18 months ago for a P4 2.8, 1GB ram and 17" TFT monitor from Dell)

Dell, just the job for your average Joe using a PC at home.

I use a very basic Dell £300 job myself, and the Inspiron 1501 laptop I got BG junior for Christmas is a very nice thing for £400.

Your new PC arrives a few minutes after you hit the 'submit order' button, the sales bods in Ireland are terrific, and their customer service I have found to be excellent, even if it is in India.

However, I dont know anything much about computers, so I could be entirely deluded.

Dell. And have a look at the spec for GT legends, buy a bit higher than that. And have a look at the inputs of your plasma to see what it wants pumped into it - you may find that a simple VGA cable is all you need.

I'm not sure, is that sarcasm BG?
