Help needed on a new build £850

[jaff15]

Hi,

I'm looking for a new pc. My past history is not great as I'm not very pc orientated. My last one was a hand me down AMD quad and my only other pc was a one I bought from time computers.
I've been looking for a good package for high end gaming mmo's and found this. I would appreciate any thoughts or advice about the build or company

I've just posted this in another thread and so far every reply has said that its a bad deal the spec is below

- Fast 4.0GHz High Performance, Gaming PC, Multimedia, Desktop Computer with 3x Top Games and Internal LEDs Lighting Kit (4GB Radeon R9 290 Graphics Card, AMD FX 8350 New Eight 8-Core Processor, Advanced Cooler, 120GB SSD Solid State Drive, 1TB HDD Hard Drive, 16GB 1600MHz RAM, High Grade 600W PSU, No Operating System)

£839

Any better specs for the money. Or same spec less money

Thank you

Hi.

Is this a pre-built or DIY build

What parts do you actually need (monitor, OS etc)?

Hi

I have a good monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers but I'd need everything else.

Prob pre built but if it's much cheaper it get diy I'm sure I could bribe my brother in law to build it with some whiskey

Great thanks

Yes.

You can afford the good CPU's.

i5 4690K vs FX8350 for example - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1261?vs=697

Hopefully you can see you get more for you money if you DIY it.

But if pre-built is what you prefer,
