 I need advice -buying a new PC Hi I'm buying a new PC, I've never actually bought a new one before always second hand (or 3rd 4th 5th etc). I wonder if i can get some advice on this. I just want to make sure I get a good deal. I'm not a really heavy user. I just want it for interenet use, digital camera, and music for my phone. Which one of these is a good deal do you think? 1. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/pro...rmationSection 2. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/102722 3. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/sto...rmationSection 4. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/sto...7&category_oid= Also would I have to buy a separate disc for word excel etc? Thanks |

I wouldn't buy a PC from PC World new, let alone a reconditioned one, you dont know who has used/abused it and for how long. As Dave said above, shop around, there are plenty of god deals. My System: Home Build

| I need advice -buying a new PC Please don't buy from PC World, especially not those. I would never buy a refurbished PC, definitely not at those prices. If you give me a price range and whether you need a monitor I will find you some good computers. And to answer your question, you will need to buy a separate disk for Microsoft Office unless the computer comes with it preinstalled. It is about £100 for the home and student version.

My friend has a disc with word excel etc on it which she will lend me so I dont need to worry about that anymore. I would really appreciate some help with buying a new pc. I'm quite desperate.

| I need advice -buying a new PC Well if it's just for interenet use, digital camera, and music for your phone, you certainly dont need anything too fancy. With a budget of £300, without a monitor and without an Operating System ... have a look at these : http://www.arbico.co.uk/Arbico-value...r-p-17351.html http://www.arbico.co.uk/Arbico-Perfo...r-p-17353.html |

| I need advice -buying a new PC You do need an Operating System, but you never said if you already own one. I was just pointing out that the prices in the links do not include one  |

| I need advice -buying a new PC If you go back to either of the links and scroll down, you will see you can add an Operating System of your choice ... i.e. XP Home = £69.99. |
