If your going for a gaming computer...I don't think the word 'cheap' works....but I could be wrong.

Well that really does depend if you're building it yourself like I did. I highly suggest that you do build your own do some research into how to build your own computer if you don't already and you'll be golden.
If you don't wish to build your own then by all means post some links to a few computers that have caught your eye and I'll look over them for you.

The Tesco computes is cheaper and tbh better in a few ways. The monitor seems alittle pricey keep searching around and you can find a good deal, especially since it's around Christmas.

with a compatable cord yes. you can hook computers/ laptops up to televisions if you need to. both of the LCD TVs in my house have inputs for that but you can get cords for other adapters too.hoolahoop75 wrote:pcgamer999 wrote:hoolahoop75 wrote:pcgamer999 wrote:rabidsqueeble wrote:hoolahoop75 wrote:I would like to buy a computer, to do gaming because my laptop isnt up to the challenge.

I think it's easier just to build your own, that essentially what I've done, went out and bought a computer, put a new graphics card etc in.
