Not in the slightest.

Thats a total rip off.

Are you willing to build your own?

That's the worst pre built pc I've seen.

Find a better prebuild or grow a pair and build your own.

Its a terrible build, and the price is unwarranted. If you were to build something like that then this is how much you'd save. So thats over three hundred pounds of savings just by doing it yourself.

However, build yourself and get this and its better in literally every single way.

I thought I was being rather helpful actually, I showed you how much you could save if you did build yourself. I also showed you a build for just over a thousand you could assemble which would be a major improvement.

If you don't want to build yourself at all, then the place I buy components from offer their 3XS systems. They will let you choose your configuration then they'll assemble for you, its much more cost effective and here's what I came up with.

For $1300 you could get a pretty sweet gaming PC, I understand you're worried about it being hard and screwing up when building it, but understand that it really isn't that difficult.
If you just relax, play some music and grab a screwdriver you'll have it done it no time, there are instructions but I doubt you will need them.
You will be really happy that you have a computer you know you built and you can have exactly what you want and you know where your money is going and what your computer is capable of.
Good luck buddy.

PS: People Like Buxtyy and Terrabytz really know what they're talking about, it doesn't hurt to ask them. I'm sure they would be happy to help and answer your questions.

With an attitude like that, you don't really deserve any help. We don't owe you anything, we take time out of our day to help others in this section so that they don't waste money. Just as Buxtyy, Xigma and Alexyy already have for yourself. They told you not to buy that complete rip-off and that building your own would give you much more performance for a lower price.

That doesn't seem like a pre-built from a website, it kind of seems to me like someone is trying to sell their old PC? I could be wrong. Regardless, it sucks. The Zalman Z3 is a cheap case and not very good. The Pentium G3258 is a fantastic CPU, forits price.. which is £50. In a £1300 PC, I'd expect to see an i7. Why bother with a B85 chipset motherboard when Z97 chipset motherboards are only a little more expensive, especially if your budget is £1300. 16GB RAM would be entirely useless to you as 8GB is more than enough for gaming purposes. A GTX 750 Ti in a £1300build? Is that a joke? The GTX 750 Ti is a pretty low end GPU and with your budget, you could easily have a high end GPU in your PC. Not only that, but the R7 265 is the same price as the GTX 750 Ti and performs better. No SSD in a £1300 build is moronic. I'd expect to see at the very least, a 60GB SSD with a budget as large as £1300. Razer products are horrible for their price. You could buy much better for the same amount. The fact that it doesn't mention the PSU leads me to believe that it will be a bad quality unit.

Reprieve, if I were you, I'd listen to Sanctorum. He knows what he's talking about and is trying to help you get the best bang for your buck. He helped me with my build and I couldn't be happier.
