This desktop is pretty solid
Change the graphics card to a gtx 970 and it would run all games at 60+ fps
hope this helps

What is your currency and would you be willing to build your own PC? It is very much recommended that you do so since pre-builts are genuinely terrible for the price you pay, as proven with the one linked above my comment.

Building a PC is not a tedious, or long task. In fact, it can be done in under 2 hours with ease. I built my first PC with next to no knowledge on the subject when I was 13 years old and it took me 45 minutes to build. You're going to be able to order components and build your own PC faster than it would take for a pre-built to be delivered. What is your currency? "600 range or so" isn't enough information, we need to know whether you're using GBP, USD, CAD NZD, AUD or other?

"is it really that easy?"

It is easy. Hardest part I would say is getting the cable management to your standards. Also, at the end of it you feel some sense of accomplishment and know that you've not been completely ripped off by buying something that won't meet your standards meaning you'd need to upgrade it anyway so you would be putting the same effort into doing so.

Definitely worth the two or so hours you spend doing it.

If you decide to build, get something like this;

PCPP is kind of a pain in the ass and that'll set you back around $610-$615 or so after shipping, assuming PCPP has got the prices all correct. Although, you will have to buy from 3 or 4 different vendors to get the best prices. Add another 4GB RAM when you have a little more money.
