The thing is that he isn't likely to upgrade since he isn't a computer person (says so in some of his posts).

Yeah, I know. I was talking to the guys above.
Not to mention it's pretty obvious that the OP doesn't know much about computers and probably should not tinker with it anyways.

I was starting to think this of myself.
Mag-X. I've decided to stick with the websites i posted earlier, as I feel more comfortable and their are in my price range.
I think it boils down to these three pcs. I will later change the graphics card or video card when needed. Right now it's the one with the BEST proccessor that concerns me.

I am more inclined to buy this one because of the proccessor, AMD is supposed to be better then intel?

This one seems a good buy but i checked the reviews and a person said that...

Due to it's ultra-small form factor, finding a decent half-height PCI-Express x16 card to run on the 220W PSU will be problematic. Acer told me any PCI-E x16 card will fit, but this is not true.

Q:The more proccessor cache a pc has the better? (in scales of mb)
Mag-X:
I don't think those are the best deal, but if you must buy one of those, I would suggest the first one. For the second one, you basically paying an extra £50 for an extra Gig of RAM since the video card is useless for gaming. The third one has a decent processor, but you're not going to be able to fit a gaming video card into it.

Thanks again.
btw, I was thinking of buying a new screen, what would be best for pcs? I.e LCD screen/ monitors. I have a samsung atm which is good, would LED be any good?

Ebuyer is better than overclockers, which has terrible support and is more expensive generally.
For £500 you're not really going to get a gaming machine unless you build it yourself.
Comet, PC world, curries and all that are basically rip offs.
I started spec'ing you out a good pc from ebuyer but I guess there's no point since it's not the route you're taking....
Noob.

I haven't brought anything yet, was going to buy it today, as I'm the type of person that buys 50% of impulse 50% on research.
But if you generally mean what you say I can wait.
