The pc would be for general office use. Little or no gaming, nor other graphics-intensive usage.

If you may configure the desktop yourself. You would have a lot more for this price.
Do you mean 'configure' as in use Dell's online wizard?
No I mean, build your own PC. Example in Great Britain:

You can choose whatever you want in your pc. It's cheaper then buying something from Dell, HP, ... .

That is what i would be getting if i had your budget.
Not from PC World you wouldn't - they're out of stock ;) Thanks for flagging that though
Ah yes your right. wait until they come back in i think its a very good spec for the money and the others on the page are good also.

You might be amused to know that i somehow managed to get PCW/Curry's last one in the country - a display model.
Well done. I hope you got a nice discount for a display model :-)
Glad I could be of help.

Not negotiated yet ;) The client will do that.
Update: an emphatic 'no discount' :(

Generally I think Dell has some of the best value for the bucks in terms of quality, user-support and price, so just go to the Dell site and set something up that fits your client's needs. Just don't get Acer or Sony (sony would probably also bee too expensive anyway), and also HP seems to be getting worse.
