Dear respected members of this forum,

I have been looking for a new pc, preferably one where I can play some games on. I have found one on ebay that's selling new for £259.99. The specifications are:

AMD A8 6600K Quad Core Processor / CPU running at 3.9GHz (With 4.2GHz Turbo Mode!)
8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
LATEST AMD RADEON HD8570D Graphics!
1TB SEAGATE Barracuda 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive With 64MB Cache
SAMSUNG 24X DVD / CD - RW Dual Layer Optical Disc Drive
MSI FM2-A55M-E33 uATX Motherboard (Full specifications of this board can be found here)
500W Quiet Power Supply Featuring Large 120mm Cooling Fan
High Quality Vantage RED Desktop PC Gaming Case with 3 x 120mm RED LED Cooling Fans.
SD Memory Card Reader Built Into Top of Case
Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN
4 X High Speed USB 2.0 Ports on Back Plus Further 2 On Top
8 Channel HD Audio
4 X SATA II 3GB/s Ports
1 X PCI Express X16 Slot
1 X PCI Express X1 Slot
1 X PCI Slot
2 X PS/2 Port (For Keyboard / Mouse)
1 X VGA Port
1 X HDMI Port (With Audio)
DUAL Monitor Support
UK Mains Power Cable Included
All Relevant Driver Discs Included

Now I was wondering whether I should purchase this or build my own one instead. However, the thing is, even though I keep hearing it is easy to build a computer, I have never done it before and therefore I am quite a noob.

Can anyone help me out/advise me?

Thank you very much,

Yours sincerely,

MI6
 
Solution
you will be able to play games like BF3 and call of duty at 1080P, but at around mediumish settings.

I believe that PC will be good for what you do, and if it isn't delivering a good enough gaming experience, just save up and drop a new graphics card in.

Well I am looking for a computer where I would be able to use Microsoft Office for studying purposes, Photoshop for editing pictures and playing games in my free time. Would you be able to tell me what kind of games I would be able to play?

Thank you so much for your quick replies. One final question: What graphics card would you recommend me to upgrade to that is compatible with this pc?
