Desktop PC under £300

Computer broke the other day and looking to buy a new one quickly, budget of £300.

Found this one that seems adequate <a class="postlink" href="http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5074543.htm#pdpPromotions" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/p ... Promotions</a>

Just thought I would ask on here if it's a good price or if anyone could link me to a better one as I don't know too much when it comes to computers.

Thanks in advance!

Just general browsing mate and Microsoft Office, not interested in gaming on it or similar things.

Thanks for the suggestion Karlzberg, will have a look.

Whatever you get, if you let TCIB fiddle with it for 5 minutes, it will be twice as good.

It's amazing how cheap PC's are nowadays my first PC cost nearly a grand and it had 4 mb Ram and 250 mb hard disk

Why thank you kind sir.
It just involves updating drivers and adding a couple of patches that help performance of any win based os.
