I can't afford an expensive computer out right and as this is fairly cheap and can be paid monthly and PC's are generally easily upgraded, I can do it a bit at a time. Would this be good for games, and more importantly WoW?

No, gooseberry fool brand, gooseberry fool price.

Don't buy Acer.

It's a bit pricey and you could do with a bigger screen.

@ Fatal - Did I sell you a monitor a while back? If so, how's it going?

Any decent ones on there for around the same price? I have a 50" HDtv, wouldn't that be useful as a monitor?

Buying a computer a component at a time is painful. What exactly is it for? The vast majority of day to day computing doesnt need a lot of power. You might be better off with something like an Atom based PC now, and saving for that gaming rig.

PLaying games, I'm not bothered about the newest games, and the best visuals. I mainly want it to run WoW whilst being nice to look at and having a decent framerate. This laptop, runs WoW, with all settings at the lowest they go, and it runs at 3-14 fps. which is just too shite for words.

Ah, so you've already got a PC you can use for basic 'net access and stuff. Good, that does simplify things.

I think the problem with any package PC is that you can never tell what's actually inside it. If you're looking at upgrading over time, you're probably as well to build it from day 1.

Was thinking that, but want a decent computer to start with asap. As I want to play WoW tidy. I was looking at Littlewoods simply because I can pay bit by bit and get a decent pc now. So, not sure what to do really as WoW is so crap on this thing, and everyday it get's progressivly worse :cry:

Can't even go on Vent and WoW at the same time, but could last week. Yes, that's how gooseberry fool this thing is. It's a Compaq 6720s. I was looking to see if I could maybe upgrade ram right now and change the grfxcard, but found out on the net that you can't with this. The ram is £35 for 2gig. So meh. Is there one on Littlewoods you would say is decent enough and around the £500 - £600 price mark?
