I am going to buy a new pc soon for £640 and I wanted to know whether it is good to buy considering the specs and price and if not what's wrong with it and what do you recommend.
Specs:
Zoostorm Haswell Gaming Desktop PC, Intel Core i5-4570 3.2Ghz CPU 8GB DDR3 Ram 2TB HDD & 64GB SSD B85 Motherboard ATX Case with 500W PSU nVidia GTX760 2GB Graphics Card No OS[strike][/strike]
 
Solution
Seems decent enough, PSU brand not listed and no OS. Building one would save you some cash:

It is £10 more but includes an OS and is made from undoubtedly better quality parts
