Hi guys, im looking for a all in one deal desk top pc that i can pick up yesterday,
so to play ffxiv (ARR). i know nothing about computers other then the on/off button, oh and a i7 is the latest processor, budget is around a £1000 mark at a big push,
any suggestion would be very appreciated
not wanting to get ripped off by the hi street price wise,
dell or pc world, that will need upgrading next month.

sorry,forgot to mention im UK based

For that price you can get a great build if you build it at home.

Yeah I agree, don't buy pre built. Pre built systems have proprietary form factors that can't be upgraded, and an extremely limited shelf life. You'll be chucking that system within a year. Build your own and it will be more system for less money and it will last longer.

Thank you for the input,
the desk top idea kind of gone out the window for now,
now wanting to go all out for a semi, hi-pro laptop,
i think ive found a decent site that can do the building for you, (if non confident like myself)
below is the link for the baby im thinking of going for, it would be mainly used for MMO gaming,
im under the impression this can also be upgraded as and when required.

Any opinions if a good buy or not for the price?
(price beating the hi-st at £300 for similar spec's)
Many thanks in advance

Really not that hard to build it at home, mostly just plugging in cables and screwing in components :). (for a desktop)
