This PC just misses out on a Best Buy but is still worth a look thanks to its reasonable price. It's fast and looks great, although the speakers aren't brilliant and the supplied keyboard and mouse should be a bit better.

We test desktop PCs more thoroughly than anyone else

Our tests go further than those carried out by other organisations, and because Which? is independent and does not accept advertising or freebies, you can trust our reviews to give you the full, honest and impartial truth about a product.

When we're testing desktop PCs at the Which? lab, we make sure that the tests we're running represent the sort of things you'll be doing with your new PC. So whilst we do the things you've expect, such as benchmarking tests to check how powerful these machines are, we also record how long it takes to boot up, or transfer data from a USB - tasks that we all do everyday.

To discover the benefits take a sign up to Which? and you'll receive access to all our online content.
