gaming pc for £400

 
No its not.

A few things,

• A 8320/8350 are the same CPU just at a lower clock speed, this difference can be made up via overclocking.

• Not all AM3+ boards support the 9590, it requires a real monster of a board to run.

• Asrock are not very good, ASUS and Giga have stronger boards with better warranties.
