£800? that is a joke, by the way no.5 is the best system on your list. but for £800 you can get almost best computer around for any use. all the systems you listed should not cost you over £350 each

As rajaawad23 says, you can make huge savings on that £800 joke offer. Have a look at this site of a Portsmouth based company which ships all over the UK. The barebones box listed at £119 might need another fifty spending on it, along with a bit of work, plus a screen for another £60 but you'll also have the satisfaction of finishing the build yourself.

Is the same company also charging you way over the top for their software and are you sure you really need it?
