Best place online to buy a PC?

What websites do people suggest I have a look around for buying a new desktop PC , with a budget of around £400?

It usually works out cheapest to buy from seperate firms.

I tend to buy most of my stuff from overclockers, scan, ebay and second hand members markets on forums such as this.

Cheers mate.

Been looking around on Dino PC, as to be honest, I don't know much at all about building a PC.

Have around £500 to spend on one. All we need is the unit itself as we have a monitor.

What are you looking to do on the pc? For that price I think you could get something a lot better from scan/ ebuyer. Dino pc (I think) has 25 pounds delivery charge as well. Ebuyer is free for orders over £50, and scan is free if you've been a member of this forum longer than 14 days. The power supply on that system isn't great and upgrading in the future may not be possible. Have you not seen videos on YouTube of how to build a pc, I was a bit sceptical 2 months ago abut building a system and was certain I was going to buy from dinopc but read bad reviews. There are good tutorials on YouTube like Neweggs how to build a computer which are a beginners guide on to build.
This is a bundle which would need assembling and is better than the one from dino and cheaper

The price seems ok to me for a pre built PC, probably at least as cheap as any of the other big online seller Scan, Aria, Overclockers etc.
You can customise it to if you want a better graphiocs card / CPU etc in their options
