    Hi Folks,

    Im looking for a little help (from the wiser heads in this forum) in buying a new desktop.
    The pc will be used for Social networks, Skype, email, general web browsing, downloading movies etc ( No Gaming).

    I have seen the below on the Dell website and looking for opinions or info on other suitable priced desktops.

    Thanks in advance, Philon

    More than good enough and the price is OK too.

    If you want to upgrade the system memory, an 8GB kit (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 costs around €45.

    That would be a great buy. Dell's prices are really good at the moment - that would do what you want it to do very smoothly indeed.
