No. I can guarantee you such a cheap system will have used marginal parts, such as a PSU-shaped object that would be imminently unfit for purpose, especially to power ANY graphics card needing a PCIe power connection.
And, as pierrerock points out, it uses an APU, which does not have a particularly strong CPU component.

You need a PSU that can support a graphics card, yes. Keep in mind that even a decent 300W PSU is enough for a HD7750, GTX750, or GTX750Ti, none of which need a PCIe power cable.the company dont display the actual PSU make.
But i was planning on installing a gtx 660, would i be able to? Im just worried about the gtx 660 slots on motherboard and the power supply for it.
I suppose i could always change the Power supply right?

You would need to replace the PSU, otherwise that ought to work. A quality 500W PSU would be sufficient, such as Seasonic, XFX, or Antec.Could you add me on skype: ozar99
Or steam: oikl90
Shall i buy a corsair 600W PSU when i want to upgrade to a GTX 660 and new PSU instead of the one what the PC comes with

Cheap Corsair PSUs are built with inferior Samxon capacitors that do not tolerate heat well and tend to fail early.
I've not been using Steam lately, and I have been loading Skype only for specific conversations with family or friends.
I'm not trying to be unfriendly or uncooperative (I enjoy helping people), but those two methods are not really good ways to reach me. My response times during the day also tend to be bad, as I'm at work and my first obligation, obviously, is to my employer.
The best place to post questions is right here on the forums, where there are plenty of knowledgeable, helpful people, and peer review typically prevents any truly bad advice from going unchallenged (and Moderators keep that polite).

Ok, so if i buy a PSU what is compatible with a graphics card e.g GTX 660, i can install this, and it will all fit in the case ok?

It should fit, yes. Keep in mind that the system you're buying does NOT include an operating system, so add that cost as well.I have a win 7 disk so thats no worrys.
But are you 100% sure it will fit?
Which one shall i buy aswell:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ULTRA-FAST-Quad-Core-8GB-1TB-...
or
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ULTRA-FAST-Quad-Core-8GB-1TB-...
Im thinking the 1st one, because its got the fan at the front so the cooling could be decent, and will i be able to install the GTX 660 and a new PSU in both of these PCS?
And which PC would you choose 1 or 2?

A GTX660 is not a huge card, and should fit fine.Where can you buy, and what is your budget for the PSU? As I mentioned, a good 500W PSU from Seasonic, XFX, or Antec would be solid choices. It would have all the connectors you would need.
ok thanks, i might just buy a 8GB Ram A10-7850K Khaveri i think its called, apparently its AMDs best cpu/amu ever,
but im confused if it has the best intergrated graphics the 7850, where are they? built in the core? becuase all their is in the box is the core and the fan right?

Media sharing sites are blocked at work, but yes, an APU combines a CPU and GPU on the same die. It is probably about as powerful as a HD7730 or maybe HD7750.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fast-AMD-A10-7850K-4-0GHz-Qua...
Its a AMD A10-7850K QUAD CORE, If i bought a PC with that, the cpu has the 7850k graphics intergrated right? well if so, apparently they are nearly as good as a gtx 660.
Also if i get this CPU with the intergrated graphics (a10-7850) will it be decent for DayZ maybe ArmA 3 on medium or low smoothly using its intergrated GFX.
And can this eBay PC what i linked can i upgrade it: like add a new graphics card into it and push it up to ultra because the pc specs are good
And if i do add a new graphics card, will it automatically disable the 7850 intergrated graphics?

The integrated graphics of an APU are not the same as a discrete card with the same numbering. The APU has R7-class graphics, likely between a R7 240 and R7 250.Okay lets go step by step:
1) If i buy this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fast-AMD-A10-7850K-4-0GHz-Qua...
What settings will it do? For games like DayZ , Arma 3
2) If i add a GTX 660 into that PC, and switch the intergrated 7850 OFF, what settings will it do, and would you say adding this graphics card will be good for gaming? And would the GTX 660 Fit into the case and install ok?
Thanks for the help by the way

Ok thanks,
1) if I buy that PC off ebay all I need to do is add the gtx 660 to make it good? And buy a new psu what's compatible? Link please I just need to make sure the psu will connect everything alright
2) would you say it's worth £280 then adding a gtx 660
3) do you think the processor is good for gaming The a10-7850 with intergrated but using a gtx 660?
4) so if I install a new psu and gtx 660 it will be a good pc?

1. You must FIRST add a new PSU before you install the GTX660. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-XFX-TS-Series-P1550... would be a good choice.
2. Building your own would be a better deal; you'd get higher quality and/or faster parts. I don't think this deal sucks (if you're not interested in building), but it is definitely a little suboptimal.
3. The CPU portion of an APU is weaker than a comparable CPU-only solution, like an i3. Even so, most games are more dependent on the graphics card than on the CPU, so it should be "sufficient" for most games.
4. A little suboptimal, and a little more expensive than it needs to be, but it will play games on "enjoyable" settings.

I did come up with a build £300 no more
But i want to use a mid tower but the motherboard is microatx
8gb ram
1th hdd
DVD drive
Processor I'm not sure please help pick, and preferably
Gtx 660
550w psu
1 extra fan
I did it in pcpartpicker but I'm just worried that it won't all screw in a case alright and all fit together and I'm worried about the USB and mic/sound jacks on the case won't connect to the motherboard correctly
So build me a £270 no more?
The gtx 660 is only £100
Thanks
