Hi,

ALDI have a decent spec machine, on sale today. They might be hard to get though.

Dell make grand desktops. Also much better support than you'll get in the likes of PC World.

Dell support have fallen through the floor recently. Quality of their parts or value aside, I've heard good things in the past about their service and dreadful things lately. Their call centres are in India and they no longer make the machines here after moving to Poland or somewhere. I suggest that you look elsewhere.

You'd be better off with the Aldi one - bigger hard drive, newer generation of processor and USB 3 ports.

Secondly, don't buy keyboards from Germany unless you want a German layout!
