I need to find a pc that is really good for gaming and is under £700. It would be best if it is compact but doesn't have to be. A laptop would also be good

Why do you want a prebuilt? You could build a computer for £300 that will be a better gaming computer than a prebuilt desktop. Laptops are a different story, but I wouldn't recommend one if you can get a gaming PC.

There are so many guides around now, not to mention all of the parts come with installation instructions themselves, that it's pretty much impossible to go wrong. Building a PC is much easier than it was before. I would strongly recommend building your own rather than buying a prebuilt.

I think this is good, it's a bit over budget but it's money well spent, I made it compact like you asked. If you want prebuilt then may I suggest www.hazardouspcs.com, UK based and all, pretty good IMO!
