If you want to take the time and effort, try to buy all the parts and build a PC on your own that you are sure will work. Most companies use proprietary parts that make it hard to upgrade. Man, I know that all too well.

i agree with durwin, building the computer your self will be easier.

are you in the uk? near newcastle? if you are theres a good shop called Computer Direct UK, prices are great but dont expect much for customer services if you have a problem your on your own, then again if you went with a big company the customer service is likely to be just as bad or worse.
