Hi all, apologise for posting so much and thanks for the help. I am wondering would this be a good buy for about 282 pounds. Here is the spec:

"Xenon 100i" Intel Celeron G550 2.6GHz Dual Core Home PC Bundle (comes with 4 gig ram and motherboard) for 99.95
MSI HD 6670 2048MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (ST500DM002) HDD
Antec VP450P 450W '80 Plus' Continuous Power Supply
Xigmatek Asgard Pro Gaming Case - Black
OcUK 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM
 
I agree, but it's ~20 quid more and the difference will be huge, this is one of those massive scales in price/performance.

I wouldn't be getting a Trinity for the IGP when the 7750 GDDR3 would be faster, even if you paired it with a dual core athlon or something.

I'm not disagreeing! :)

The 7770 all the way if it's affordable, I just looked at something a lot better than the 6670 very close to the same price.
 
Hi guys, appreciate all the replies. I have taken a look at Fire Fly's comment and gone with the amd apu etc, but lowered down to 4gb of ram, came to about 258 pounds. I think this would be good for starting off? Then upgrade in the future?
 
I'd avoid the AMD APU here - you're paying for a GPU that's awful in comparison to these mentioned.

An FX-6300 + 7750/7700 is ideal, but probably over budget.
 
you might aswell go with intel then

I just thought the amd igpu would be enough

better to go intel cpu and add in a graphic card
