Recommend a basic gaming computer?

[CraigLovelock]

Well... my laptop has reached the stage of its life where it wants to load up webpages in random bits and takes about 10 seconds for the right click options to appear...

I currently use my laptop for simple gaming, video editing and sound production.

Which i know it cant handle.

I was thinking about wiping the laptop and putting xp on it (on vista atm) but i dont want to lose alot of my music production stuff.

So the plan is to get a computer i can just use for multi tasking side of video editing / games.

I want to be able to play games and listen to music at the same time without any lag etc.

Any recommendations?

I dont want anything too expensive since its only browser based game...

Let me know

HP laptop is always my recommendation if you have got to have a laptop ( prefer desktop myself cheaper, better spec, easy to upgrade, bigger screen and lower chance or breaking imo)

i have had a hp for a few years now and its had a hard life been dropped qutie abit and aside from the battery now being useless it still works pretty much as it did when i got it so cant fault it really

Anything with an q6600 quad core they are cheap these days + a decent value vid card 8800gt etc + 4gb of ram at atleast 800mhz clock.

Should be able to pick that up now for about £350 for just the tower

Really depends on what you think is "expensive"
