Gaming PCs - help please

My son wants to buy a gaming PC. His last PC cost him £500 and only lasted a year. Please can anyone advise on reliable places to buy a PC or anywhere I can get good advice. He is obsessed with replacing his PC as soon as possible and is becoming increasingly stressed about it. I dont have the skills or knowledge to help him. Help please

    Is the old pc beyond repair? Do you know what broke? How old is your son? Could he learn how to fix it?

    I use pc world and john Lewis but I know what I'm looking for and am quite resistant to their sales tactics. They will sell you things that you might not really need. I actually find some of the guys at pc world quite good and into gaming and stuff like that. Beware though that some of them are a bit autistic though! Wink

    there are also local independent pc shops and these might be good as they may like talking to your son and he might like talking to them

    Either way it may be worth taking the old pc along to see if there is anything that they can do to fix it
