Due to my position on a Currys.Digital locally, while i wait for my results and Uni replies, i was able to get the following system at a truely bargain price:
Packard Bell iMedia
Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.2Ghz per core.
2Gb DDR2-533 memory
Geforce 8400GS 256Mb Graphics Card (with plans for an upgrade to a 9600GT in October)
250Gb Hard Drive
24bit Realtek HD 5.1 Surround Sound Card
DVD-RW X18 QuietDrive
All for £275, that's $500 for the Americans among you.
All in all, a good deal. Graphics Card is a little on the weak side, but nothing a simple and easy upgrade when my Birthday comes around won't fix.
It plays everything i currently own fine, the 9600GT will be in preparation for games such as Fallout 3 and Spore.

That's a good PC you get there!

Congrats on the new toy! I picked up a new PC last X-mas and ended up upgrading the Geforce 8400 to a 8800 GT. The 9600GT looks like a really good choice for an upgrade at this time though. Spore sounds like it will scale very nicely so you shouldn't even need to upgrade for that game - Fallout 3 is probably a different story though.

Wow. Not a bad deal at all.
