Hey guys... So i'm, looking for a sub-£500 build (all inclusive)for my girlfriend...
It's going to be used mostly for watching movies, browsing the web (you know... whatever it is girls do with this stuff) and some limited gaming, hopefully WoW too now that she'll have a semi decent machine.
So she's running a tight budget, so i'm looking for places I can shave of a few pounds here and there... It only really needs to last 2 maybe 3 years. (If I can squeeze an extra year or two out of it (by overclocking anything) for £50 then yes... i'd be looking at doing that)
I'm not as yet entirely sure she actually needs a Graphics card. Also unlike me, she's not tied to NVIDIA, so if theres a cheaper comparable ATI card available no issues with using that.

Why am I using Novatech?
Well as I've said in plenty of other threads,
Firstly and most importantly, I can get the VAT off on purchase.
Secondly and probably just as importantly I guess.. IF anything goes wrong, they have stores and repair centers I can walk into and get a same day fix (replacement/repair whatever)
Thirdly, they have great service anyway.
I am also considering comparable laptops (same budget) or barebones bundles etc... whatever works out for the best spec, and the cheapest option.
