Another computer upgrade thread???

I know another one.. must be one a week here lol!

I'm looking to upgrade from my pushed to the limits laptop to a desktop. I know you guys have good knowledge to steer me in the right direction!

now with Limited funds (Ã‚Â£500 -Ã‚Â£600) Ive been looking at:

- Dell Inspiron 560

* intelÃ‚Â® CoreÃ¢Â„Â¢ 2 Quad-Core Q8300 Processor (2.50GHz, 4MB cache, 1333MHz FSB)
* Genuine WindowsÃ‚Â® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
* 6144 MB Dual-Channel DDR3 1333 MHz [2 x 2048 + 2 x 1024]

- Hp Pavillion S5325

# Processor: Intel Core i3
# Memory (RAM): 4 GB
# Storage Capacity (hard drive): 640 GB
# Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium

- ACER Aspire X3900

IntelÃ‚Â® CoreÃ¢Â„Â¢ i3-530 Processor
- 2.93 GHz
- 2.5 GT/s DMI
- 4 MB L3 Cache
- 3GB installed DDR2 RAM (800 Mhz)
- Maximum capacity up to 8 GB of DDR3 1333 MHz SDRAM (dual-channel support on four DIMMs)

I would be grateful if anyone has experience with any of these and can give advice or can lead me to a suitable shop or review site? (Scott)..

I know many of you will want to point me to any i7's but as I said I have limited funds so will have to keep my PC less powerful for now
