New gaming PC for friends son

[jalinka]

My friend has a budget of around £750 to buy a PC for his son. Can anyone recommend somewhere to buy a compleat system in the UK. I know I could source the components and build one, but I don't like to build people computers these days, because of the lifetime tech support it usually ends up entailing.

So any good sites and specs for the budget?

How about this one from OCUK? If you add the HD6950 Ice-Q X Plus it comes out to £748.94 inc VAT.

That system looks quite nice Scottz, thanks

I also came across this one http://www.arbico.co.uk/Arbico-Core-...ing-PC-p-.html

Any opinions on it? Also anyone used that company before?

I'd go for this:

I also wouldn't recommend an SSD unless you want to be explaining to him why is running out of space with his 50gb of games on his SSD ;) I get the feeling you want the least amount of hassle, I don't blame you myself!!
