Seems to be a pre-built. It's not going to run any newer games on decent settings. If you're wanting to get the most bang for your buck look into building your own.

You're going to overpay on any pre-built gaming PC.

If you build your own, for the same price you will get an i5 and a r9 series (equivalent) card.

You can't possibly know that without knowing how much this PC costs.

OP-If it is a pre-built, it's actually pretty good. It's using good quality components. However, an i3 is a bad choice. Either an i5 or a Pentium G3258 is the way to go. R7 series GPU's are also pretty low-end. Personally, I wouldn't get anything lower end than an R9 series GPU or a GTX series GPU.

Extra few quid for an i5, savings elsewhere and a little more for an R9 card.

I can't believe you're suggesting this PC is going to be well priced? The people who make them have to make a profit.

I've seen you post nothing but junk in these sections. Did I say at any point that it was "well priced"? No, I didn't. My exact words were "If it is a pre-built, it's actually pretty good." which is true becuase the majority of pre-builts use bad quality components, whereas this PC seems to be mainly good quality components. Granted,low-end. The fact is you don't have a clue how much this PC is selling for. For all you know, the seller could be asking £200 for it. "Extra few quid for an i5" u avin a giggle?

For all we know, it could be an R7 265 which is a fantastic GPU.
