He's telling me it's a great deal for £1200 (why wouldn't he) but I would like some opinions please whether it's worth that amount, also I hope posting that link was okay! Thank you to anyone who can help, much appreciated.

Hi just a quick heads up, it's against forum tos to link competitor sites so your best removing the link and just listing the components.

In terms of value I would say around £700 would be about right but is it worth buying? Answer no.

Thank you for the heads up, just removed the link! Is that £700 for the desktop alone or including all the add ons?

the trouble is if you buy that then your buying a PC that's already out of date, 6-8 core CPUs are the go to option for gaming.
You would be better off building a new amd ryzen system especially if you have around a 1200 budget.

Appreciate the help, I'll stay clear of that one then. Trouble is I've no idea where to even start when building one on here, my budget is around £1200.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,183.58 (includes shipping: £14.70)​

Cheaper build to allow for OCUK build cost and to get keyboard and mouse of your choosing.

Also you can contact OCUK and put a offer in on the "B Grade" monitor.

EDIT

Just noticed the monitor is 32". May not be a good idea at 1080p.

I mean this is years old, is it even worth trying to sell?!
 
People will buy anything so worth selling though it maybe worth salvaging the 2tb hdd as a storage drive for your new build.
