Where can I get a decent desktop?

[BertRoot]

Looking for a quad core desktop for my old man but want a decent graphics card in the best as he plays a lot of games, COD4 etc. Needs a reasonable size HD and at least 2GB of RAM and Vista Home Premium on it.

Anyone know where I can get one at a reasonable price? Done Dell and Mesh but with a decent monitor they come in a little dear.

Thanks in advance.

I picked up my new system from Tesco mate - no, they're not quite at the cutting edge, but do very reasonable desktops which would be easily added to.

But if you're after a quad-core etc... It may just be better to start from scratch and build one yourself. Or treat him to an alienware!
