So the ancient Dell dual core desktop I have currently is breaking down. Lasted almost 10 years so its time to upgrade.
I'm getting a ps4 soon so I have no desire to build a gaming rig, instead I'd rather buy a built one, to do office documents, photo and video editing, some gaming (something that could run bf4 on medium for example).
I do need a new laptop too but my budget for that is £400 so I don't suppose I could get s laptop good enough to game on for that money could I?

Budget around 700 including monitor. I'm assuming an i5 would be needed? Oh forgot to mention I have quite a good video card I'll be removing from my current computer which is pci-e. Main priority is just something that will remain fast for a good few years and can multitask. Would pc world be the place to go?
Thanks

For multitask and with this budget and GPU i will recommend you a multi core AMD.
Also i add you a 2TB HDD for more space.
And Monitor IPS for video/photo editing. ( Help alot with view point )
