i was just showing you what you could have for going a little over your budget  could swap the quad core for a c2d,that wouls bring the price down a bit.

your own is better, the graphics card on the packard bell is rubbish. but the prices you gave aren't correct, the gpu costs 111 pounds not 35,... better make sure it's right before you order double of what you wanted to spend
