Question Need a new PC what do you guys recommend

Has to be quite quick to cope with wireless broadband.I guess the budget is between £1k - £2k knowing how expensive buying the monitor and tower etc is.
I was using a Dell computer, of the same type and the parts boiled over.So what do you guys recommend.

Seems like a very big budget bearing in mind your requirement can be covered by pretty much all modern computers, starting from 279.99:

I've just bought this: Buy ACER ASP M3640 3GB | Desktop pc - Desktop PCs | Comet

with the same company's 19" monitor from Laskys at £497 delivered.

It's very good so far. Intel Quad processor, 3GB RAM, 640GB HD, etc

Do you want the pc to be focused in one area, ie games, graphics, word processor etc? or just an off the shelf model?
(i would still try Scan Computers UK: Computer Hardware - All and look under the x3s systems at the top of the page )

think those 3 are slightly out of his budget

my two penneth

Gamer Infinity SLI KO GT
is what I would personally buy if I was looking for a new one. Although I do build my own

I can vouch for cyberpower a few friends had some off them in the past and been faultless. You can customise your PC to your needs with them and they have a forum which gives good advice too.

just noticed you use it mainly for office work, the one I posted above is probably overkill for what you need
