Looking at getting a SFF PC for my Daughter.
For School work and gaming specifically 'Minecraft'
Don't want to spend over £800 and come up with this.

Quote Value: £783.00

Any thoughts/advice.


Thanks

Mark.

about £100 over budget but definitely a safer more future proof system that will probably save you money longterm. :)
