another vote against PC World, and for MESH. My current PC is a MESH build. Cost about ?1000 for just the base unit 2 years ago, and still running most new games in high detail.

I thought I was suffering from deja vu, was sure I kept seeing threads about the same subject. Apparently I'm not, hehe:

You know I'm gonna say the same as everyone else, that is avoid PC World - but looking back it appears no-one has convinced you otherwise in any of those threads, so I dunno what to say

Basically, that nVidia 6200 isn't going to be playing games anywhere close 'to the max'. My 6800GT (a vastly more powerful card than the in that machine) won't be capable of high settings for much longer... indeed, the latest games such as F.E.A.R. are already a little much for it.
And it's not like I'm running a ****ty processor behind it either (A64 3500+).

You seem hell bent on buying from PC World because of your 10% discount. You're a fool. I've still got a 17.5% corporate discount at my fingertips, and I wouldn't think about buying anything from them. They severely mark up prices, and use the ****tiest parts they can possibly get away with in their construction.
Also, their repairs department is an absolute joke a lot of the time... Basically, buy from an online dealer. You'll either save yourself an arse load of cash, or get a hell of a lot more performance if you stick to your current budget.
PC World is for picking up the odd couple of blank CDs in the case of an emergency, or the odd decent deal they do on a computer game. Even with your 10% discount, you'll be paying way over the odds.
Even my 17.5% discount would see me paying too much if I was in your situation.Comment
