because im a complete twat really
True, BuhBye!
Love you ash
lol, PC World is called PC City here in Sweden. :p
It wouldn't surprise me if the motherboard in that thing didn't even have a pci-express slot (given the supreme power of it's onboard graphics). Personally I'd avoid it like the plague if I were you, if not for the above, then because it is hugely overpriced.
Have a look through here (http://www.gladiatorcomputers.com/ProductList.aspx?CategoryId=5&Link=BrowseCategory), here (http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/systemlist.aspx?cat=1), here (http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/store/26/cat/Home-PCs), here (http://3xs.scan.co.uk/), here (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?&groupid=43&catid=781&sortby=priceAsc) or here (http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/cc.asp?bn=10306), to give you some idea of exactly what calibre of system you should be getting for £699.
Aye Ash, that PC is slightly overpriced for what it is. Although you are getting a monitor with it...
Depending on what you want to do, a Geforce 6200 isn't likely to keep up with the sort of next-gen stuff we're seeing in development.
No way would I pay 700 quid for that. heres a computer I've just ordered and arrives tomorrow. Totaly up to date and will play most games nicley.

Additionally, you might have to buy Windows OS if you don't already own a copy. You could even change it as you wish, by adding another stick of 1 gig ram, I dunno. The choice is yours! But I beg of you, don't buy that computer! The "graphics" is on board and 3 generations old! Thats a total rip off! Speak to yah on vent about it later ;)

ash what do u wanna do? upgrading what?
pci slot 16x? isnt it pci-express?
does ur MB has a pci-e slot?
Download a tool like cpu-z (http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php). Run it, go to the 'Mainboard' tab and see what it has to say under the heading of Motherboard. Using the info and our trusty friend google, find out whether it has pci-express slots on it.
Google for "Aida 32" or "Everest Home" and look for your motherboard information. It should tell you everything you need to know about it.
