Our old windows 7 PC is almost as decrepit as I am, so it's time for something to bring me into the 20th 21st century.
It will mainly be used for document creation (I can't do without MS Office), nipping on the internet, watching 80's music videos that my wife hates, and for playing games a little more advanced than Quake Arcane Dimensions.
The chosen monitor is the 23.8" AOC 24B3HA2 at 100 hertz refresh rate.
Budget is £1200
I've been going over the specs and am happy with them, but what do you, the viewer think?
