Seems pretty good.
Don't think you could build it for much less.

You will want a standard HD as well though for storage.

I done a quick look, only at 1 site. Looks about £50 more than you'd pay if you got the parts individually.

what do you plan to use it for ? The graphics card is pretty basic.

*edit* Plus you can get a 120gb SSD for less than a tenner more.

My ex won't return my PC so I am buying a new one, small claims court will follow but I've went over a year without a PC so I'm busting to get back gaming again.

The gfx card is probably letting it down but I don't plan on playing any new games so it should be fine for CS etc.

I noticed the 120GB SSD but 60 is enough for me.

If your budget is £380, I'd buy all the parts seperately. without the graphics card you'll be close to £100 left over, I'd rather have that to buy one with compared to using a £25 cheapo one.

It won't be, for the sake of £10 you will be kicking yourself later for not getting the bigger drive.

Hover over the bullet points for the specifications. Looks nice for the money, plus it is £40 cheaper......

Aside from having more ram at a lower speed, The PC I have selected is a better system.

Swap the cpu for an FM2 5800K and you needn't buy the gpu, the FM2 has a 7600 on board. Put the rest towards a better FM2 mobo and psu.

These aren't too bad. They aren't packing SSD but I notice no issues when gaming.

I had a 60GB SSD in my old PC which the ex stole. 60GB is plenty.

120 is not enough for me Sad. Honestly, the advice was good - get some more.
