Hello, I was looking for a Quality gaming computer at a budget of £600.

So far I have found one with the specifications listed below:

Configuration
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5 2500K Quad Core 3.3GHz 6MB cache LGA1155 + HD Graphics ***Overclockable XXX*** [+71]
HDD: 1TB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16M Cache Hard Drive [+10] (Single Hard Drive)
MEMORY: 4GB (2x2GB) PC10666 DDR3/1333mhz Dual Channel Memory (Corsair Value Select or Major Brand)
MOTHERBOARD: Asus P8H67-M LX SI H67 DDR3 Intel LGA1155 micro ATX Mainboard w/ 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, Intel HD onboard Graphic, SATAIII USB2.0 (B3 Stepping)
SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO
VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB 16X PCIe Video Card [+93] (Major Brand Powered by NVIDIA)

Is this worth buying at price of a Grand Total: £592.80
