Ok, I'm looking for something around £500, I want a gaming PC, which has to be from Dell (has to be), with a good GFX and good RAM.
Basically, anything better than my current specs:

Manufacturer: Dell Inc
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.2GHz
Memory: 1022MB RAM
Hard Drive: 116 GB
Video Card: Radeon X1300/X1550 Series

Any recommendations?

Has to be from Dell?

Just go to their site and see what you can get for that price. OR go here and you might get a sweet deal.

The normal question, why not build yourself?

That's not hard, you know... The whole tech section will be here to help you.

It's just that prebuilt machines are often unbalanced (often the GPU sucks) and by building yourself you get better stuff for the price.

Now yes: http://www.arbico.co.uk/Arbico-CD6750-X … 17770.html

The ram was 667MHz and 8600GT sucks. But what still bothers is that they don't tell what mobo it has...

Yes, best mid-range card there is atm. best "run-everything-on-high-card" for the price is the 8800GT.

Why does it have to be just a Dell? Won't any other manufacturer do? Dell sucks bollocks on everything but laptops and monitors.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Dell is holding his family hostage, and they will castrate/molest them unless he buys a Dell and writes a 500 page essay on how much Dell is better than everyone else.

I can see the appeal of Dell. You don't need to build them yourself and they're a credible company that you wouldn't think twice about giving £500+...
