Hello, I'm looking to buy a gaming computer for £350 (excluding monitor/operating system/periphals

This is my first crack at gaming computers, so bar my research, I have limited knowledge about these products. Building the computer seemed to complex for me, so I've been looking about for all-in-ones.

The specs:
Power Supply : 750 Watt With Power Cable Supplied

Motherboard : Asus FM2 F2A55-M LK

CPU : AMD FM2 A4 5300 Dual Core CPU 3.4Ghz (turbo 3.6Ghz)

Hard Drive : 1tb Sata Hard Drive

Memory : 8gb DDR3 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance Memory

Graphics Card : ATI HD 6670 2gb (Dual screen support via DVI /HDMI / VGA)

Optical Drive : 24x Dual Layer DVD Writer

Connections : 4 x USB 2.0 Rear / 2 x USB 2.0 Front/Side / LAN / Sound


I might add that I don't want to play state of the art modern games, I'd like to play games with great modding communities such as Half Life 2, CoD WaW,etc.

Why are you using an A series apu if you're going to put a dedicated GPU in it? You should go for an FX series cpu, a AM3+ mobo and also get another graphics card, 2gb on a 6670 is bs because it's obvioulsy not going to use it. Can't you get something like a 7770 within your budget? Would sure help for gaming. Alos wich website do you order from? so i can take a peek at the prices etc.

As I said, I have limited knowledge on gaming computers so I'm very grateful for you pointing out any mistakes I could've made. As for the site, I was being a cheapskate and looking around on Ebay.

Is there a better site I could look on?
