Hello, I am after a new PC and was wondering if this is any good?

http://www.ebuyer.com/614244-zoostorm-haswell-gaming-pc-7873-1226

I generally will use it for viewing photos, listening to music, using the internet and maybe playing FM 2014 (a football simulation game heavily using RAM). I may play the occasional RTS game but I have an Xbox360 which I am happy to use for gaming. I may try my hand at a bit of photo/video-editing but that will more likely be an occasional hobby rather than anything too often.
I also have a broken PC that was very good but I cannot seem to find a replacement motherboard (which my friend thinks is the problem). I have 2 x 640GB hard drives in the broken PC that I would like to add into the new PC, and a Blu-Ray drive aswell.
Can anyone please tell me if the new PC below:

will be able to have the other 2 640GB hard drives added aswell as the Blu-Ray, because I am really not sure what I am looking for.
Any other comments would be appreciated too.
Thanks, Alex.

That's a good deal and yes you will have at least 6 hard drive bays and 3 optical drive bays in that case. What was your last comp? I can try to find a mobo if you'd like. And if you are interested I can help you design your own comp with most likely better parts.

not really, you could build one similar price yet get an i5 and a step up graphics card.

Also, couldn't find any motherboard specs on that pc, some don't have very many sata connections. Sata connection is required for either cd/dvd/bluray and hard drives as well. My board fits 7 and was $200 and ive got all 7 used.

Hi everyone, thanks so far.
I have one PC I use at the moment but its beginning to get sluggish so I'd like to replace.
I was after something thats ready to go but that I could add my old hard drives to, the Blu-Ray if possible, and maybe a cheap SSD for boot-up.

In all honesty The_One_and_Only, I don't have the time to build a PC nor the technical ability, but thanks for the offer to help with parts. But I will try and find the details of my old computer to see if you can recommend a motherboard - that would be great, thank you.

Found it... (its probably a bit crap but it WAS really good til it broke!)
Acer Aspire M5201
nvidia Geforce 8600GT
AMD Phenom x4 9550

Then your current selection will be a good fit. Keep in mind that you will need an OS and even if you have one installed on one of your current 640Gb drives you will need to do at least a repair install to get it working on the new hardware.

Also, the new PC I originally asked about, from looking at the side pic with the case off on the original link, it looks like it says its an ASUS motherboard? I think they're good are they?

Seems to be this one from looking closely at the pics?
