Hi guys

My father has asked me to source him a new office PC. He is 70 and definitely not a gamer. System required for business, movies and general browsing. I have been out of the loop for a couple of years so not sure about recent prices.

I have been looking at this combination:

Is this a good price in the UK? I was impressed by the I7 CPU. Looking to buy ASAP as am told prices are going to skyrocket after the referendum fiasco.

Any views would be very helpful.

IF you have to choose betweeen 2 then I would go with the i7 because it also has an SSD for faster boot up (in case your father doent have patience to wait while Windows boot). 128 gb is more than enough unless he stores movies then you might go with the si5 and 500gb hdd

Thanks for the help. I reckon I will go for the i7. It's always good to have a bit of extra under the hood. He has just retired so he might fill his hours with Battlefield or Counter Strike!

Are there any other outlets that have a good reputation for price and customer service?
 


Careful or he might do a 360 no scope headshot...
Sorry I don't live in England but have you tried Amazon?
