Out of interest, why not try a shop like microdirect.co.uk or aira.co.uk? Ebay might not be the cheapest option anymore.

Although, there are some nice samsung monitors (19" ones) on ebay for about 90 quid.

cant find aira.co.uk

im abit out of touch whats good and whats not,i can build one from parts but not sure where to lay the cash..intel/amd/ssd etc?

it will be used for a bit of gaming,nothing too strenuous,hard drive doesnt have to be massive as i have a 500gb usb drive with all my music and such on..so would a 60gb ssd be better etc.

I think he meant aria.co.uk
Also try scan.co.uk - they have top "today only deals"
Avoid ACER, Packard Bell, ADVENT.....
Thats about it.

Don't bother building one anymore, its really not worth it!!!

Problem is you don't always know what you're getting with pre-builds, Hitachi HDD ect - those things come broken from the factory!
