I need updating - badly ! New tower needed !

[Kenny]

I'm still running on xp prof but my PC is hopeless with Internet Explorer etc...so on Chrome at the moment. My PC is painfully slow accessing the internet so decided to bite the bullet and buy a new tower with ( should I use 8 ) windows 7 as most seem to think windows 8 is crap !
Guy who built my last three towers ( over 20 years ) is almost as slow quoting me a price as my PC is at downloading Mustn't need my work

Anyhows I only use it mainly for browsing and the I suppose the odd game ( rarely though ) so what make/model could someone suggest for absolute maximum of £400 ( I'd even buy a s/h one if in VGC etc ).

I'm blinded ( and quite frankly out of my depth is choosing ) re specs etc. Would like wireless but not that important as everything I use is physically all around me.

Thanks in anticipation

We just bought this one 'cos we needed a new PC fast due to failure of the old one and my wife needs it to work from home. We don't do games or heavy stuff but she does need a dual screen display which this one does. Good storage and wifi built in so no ethernet cable connection needed.

The latest version of Windows 8 is fine. We came from W7 and it took minutes to adapt.
