Can I suggest a 3rd option? Ebay. I bought my current PC from a company with an Ebay shop - significantly cheaper than their website - Palicomp. They've also had machines reviewed in Computer Shopper. Obviously they're just one of many but it's an option :)Any opinions on which is cheaper for a non cutting edge desktop running Windows 7 and MS Office (mainly for office work but with some old games). I would like to dual boot but doubt I will be allowed to: - Buying a complete PC: if so any stores that people recommend? - Buying parts and making it yourself. If so any recommended parts / suppliers My only feeling is that 4Gb of Ram and 500 Gb harddrive , but no idea on what processor / graphics card to go for. Looking at AMD I came across http://products.amd.com/en-us/comparison/DesktopCPU.aspx which leads me to a AMD Athlon X2 or the Intel equivalent Finally: I am having trouble getting an Nvidia graphics card to work under Debian. Ubuntu works with restricted drivers. Any recommendations for a debian friendly graphics card? The only list I have seen is: http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/index_html/video Many thanks
