    Hi,

    I'm looking to buy a fairly hi-spec PC. Need it mainly for graphics work, playing a few of the latest games etc. I have a budget of 1000-1500. Any suggestions?

    I was looking at some Dell XPS machines, in particular, some in their Outlet Store. Anyone any experience with these?

    Cheers

    In my (admittedly fairly limited experience) for that price you might be best building your own machine. Dell stuff tends to be over priced at that spec.

    You should be more specific about what you're going to be doin with the pc and post this again in the building & upgrading forums

    Hi

    You should have a look at the HP Workstations.

    Can be pricey though.
