Thinking about a new PC

First topic message reminder :

My PC is ancient now (Dell) but has served me well so I'm thinking its time to get my wallet out . Just need a decent average home pc without all the fancy bells and whistles but quick, anyone got any good suggestions , recent experiences at the moment . Probably a bases station only as I have all the bits though I may get a new monitor.
Can't decide whether to go back to Dell or not, and not sure whose ripping me off on ther high street, seem to be a few new names on the market these days and Asus seem to figure quite well ???

Bulldozer Fx 4100 3.6Ghz Amd Processor

- Asus M5A78L-M / Usb 3.0 Socket Am3+ Motherboard

- Patriot 8Gb 1333Mhz Ddr3 Memory

- 1Tb Sata Hard Drive

- Geforce Gtx 550 Ti 1Gb Graphics Card

- Mars Blue Gaming Style Pc Case

- Windows 7 Fully Installed

- 750w Power Supply Unit, is now what i'm thinking about

to be fair that not a bad setup steve76 more mid road than low end
the 550 graphics card get looked over now becouse people think in is getting a bit old but truth is it will handle the latest gaming graphics with no problems at all infact its better than some newer one twice the price .
patriot Ddr3m will be reliable .
good mid range motherboard
only little niggle (but just to me lol)the bulldozer chip 50/50 chance that may not work with free win8 update microsoft promising to send out to new pc buyers(to be honest not really a biggy as i like win7 but also like freebies lol)

Sounds more like a bloomin Nasa control centre , way over the top for my needs

lol, it's what i'm ordering this or next week, just shy of 500 squid for the tower

Good spec but more than I want to pay , I need to do some serious stuff on my pc over and above the Internet and Office to justify that much for a tower only

I ve heard many people say this and if I had the spare cash I would be doing it too.

not got the money for either now , other priorities as the OH is ceasing her business

Take a look at this Dave .
