NO!

Why don't you build one yourself?

You will get better parts for the money.

650 pounds would be 1000$.

I will list the parts below:


PNY 8GB RAM

MSI P67A-GD55 Motherboard

CORSAIR Professional Series HX650

SAPPHIRE FleX Radeon HD 6950 2GB Graphics card

Standard DVD-ROM

CASE: Cooler Master Storm enforcer

Intel i5 2500k


That would be $900 USD Dollars which is 569 Pounds


Note: I did not list the hard drive because of the flooding in Hard Drives Factory in New Zeland, which increased the hard drive prices x2.

I recommend you use your current hard drive until the factories "dry" and everything comes back to normal, and buy them at the regular price.

I'm going to say basically the same thing as the guy before me. Your better of building it. I'm not going to post a parts list because what he has above is a good one. If your going to be using the computer just for gaming you might want to invest in an ssd. If not, just stick to your old HDD.
