No, not hard, but it's also knowing what to buy and ensuring that the bits are compatible with each other. I wouldn't recommend someone to build a PC if they have never undertaken such a task before, at least not with proper guidence for fear of zapping the components.

I've built one before, but don't have the inclination to do it now. I just want something that works.

The Acer thing looks OK, although out of stock.

How would this compare:

I'd go with this:

Won't break the bank and you can add the extra graphics card if the i3 isn't enough, plus you get 2 years guarentee, John Lewis's customer services are second to none.

In fact I have just bought a 1TB external disc, so space isn't really an issue at this time. I guess I could fit a larger one later if required.

At least we have something we nearly agree on!

Yeah it's not that hard. Just make sure the parts fit is the main issue.

Making sure everything doesn't overheat is a pretty big issue though.
