Ok,

So first, hello forums this is my first post,

And second I have a quite big Dilemma in buying a Pc in the UK for my Gaming.

So first I will state my budget. I'm going for anywhere in between £400 to about £850 at the absolute most. Preferably the cheapest possible. Money is a REALLY big factor in this decision.

Now or the Games and tasks I hope to be doing on the Bad Boy.
I hope to play Games such as,
Call of Duty
Minecraft
Terraria
War Inc Battlezone
and also run Fraps at the same time to record in HD

I also am planning on rendering and uploading to Youtube using programs such as Sony Vegas and After Effects.

Also another big specification is it must be pre-built. I do not mind a custom PC but it be pre-built I am NOT building a PC myself under any circumstances.

Also it must be a pretty well respected site so things like Over-clockers UK or Amazon or something.

And it would be nice to say why you think the PC would be good for me and maybe what it's strengths and weaknesses are because to be honest I know nothing about PC's so noob talk would be nice ;).

Thanks for reading and I look forward to your responses,
James

Hi there,

are you building it or buying a ready built one?

hey it says in the OP

"Also another big specification is it must be pre-built. I do not mind a custom PC but it be pre-built I am NOT building a PC myself under any circumstances."

Although I know it would save money to build it I am only 13 and my Dad said no! (I know more about computers then my Dad)

yea, that wont play call of duty. HD4200 is based off the X1900 dedicated chip. Its far from good.

Much better computer. GTX460 is a very strong GPU, 6GB or ram is way more than you will need, the i5 is stronger than most quad core Phenoms, much less the Athlons, and a TB of storage. Acer is better quality than HP too.

Um that looks good but I want it new so is this almost the same thing

I noticed a few differences but I don't see anything major! Although I don't know what I'm talking about!
 
that soesnt have no where near as good of a video card.
And the one at amazon is new.

not meaning to sound rude, but ARE YOU KIDDING?

you were given a option, the best you will find in that price range, and you dont trust the seller. Try your local walmark or overclockersuk. Otherwise, just go with amazon. they are a good site, I buy from them all the time and have nver been disappointed in the sellers, but some products were bad quality (a auto part, and they replaced it with a working unit if better quality).
