Hey guys
i am probably selling just my tower for £200(or do you think i could
probably get a bit more for it??)

basically it will leave me with £300-£400 for a new tower better than my current one

or my other option is to buy this on finance.which i nearly did today

What do you use your pc for?

Heavy gaming? Mostly surfing? Editing videos?

It looks good, a lil expensive 550 lbs seem more reasonable, i'm curious what kind of mobo they use on that build, so that you can plan ahead what is upgradeable.

About your current build, I would switch out the 1TB and 320GB HDD leave the 160GB, I'm pretty sure the PSU on that link is cheaper than yours, so switch them, and sell it for $300 obo (not included monitor).

can you not build your own?? whats your max budget & do you have to go through PC world?? - their the worst people to buy hardware from, my local still has a 4870 1gb on the shelf for £130. they aint gonna be shifting that card anytime soon with that price

Do you want an upgrade or need an upgrade? Getting a loan just to play games is not the most financially sound decision you can make, you know.

Yes, its best for you to wait until you have extra cash lying around that you can comfortably spend before thinking of upgrading.
