Hey, just need someone to check which PC is better, JUST for gaming.
I should note: the prebuilt one is £665 (over my budget, but could get some extra money, if it is a much better gaming PC, than my other one)
The one I'm going to build myself is only ~£450 (In budget range)

Prebuilt: (Just copy and paste it into amazon.co.uk)
VIBOX Warrior 4 - 4.2GHz AMD, Fast Quad Core, Top Gaming PC, Multimedia, High Spec, Desktop PC, USB3.0 Computer + x2 Games Bundle Included! (2GB ATI Radeon HD 7850 HDMI Graphics Card, XFX 550w Bronze 80+ PSU, 2TB HDD Hard Drive, 16GB DDR3 RAM, DVD-RW, SD Memory Card Reader, Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 Motherboard, Bullguard Internet Security, No Operating Software)

The one I will build myself:
Case: Cit mars midi tower gaming case with 2x LED fans
power supply: ACE 750w BR PSU with 12cm red fan
Motherboard: Asus sabertooth 990 fx R2.0 Motherboard
CPU: AMD fx-6300
Memory: 8GB (2x4GB) G-Skill ripjaws x series
Video/graphics card: Asus AMD Radeon HD 6670
Storage: Generic hard drive disk 500GB sata II
Optical drive: Cheap £12 one
CPU cooler: Cooler master hyper 212 EVO (120mm)

Questions I need answered:
1) Which one is better and to what extent?
2) Is it worth the extra money?
3) I want to play big title games, such as: BF4, Dark souls II...
4) Is it too good? Like is it unnecessarily advanced and will I never need to use its full potential?
5) Is the PC I'm going to make compatible? (Only needs answering if I should get this instead of the prebuilt one)

Thanks for any reply and can you dumb it down for me. (Try and just answer the questions in order at the end, so I have a clear answer)
