Hello I was wondering if this is a good gaming pc http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371067892943 I know it has no gpu included but I got my own gtx 660 ftw to use on this and any prediction on how long would it last for?

As said in this thread http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2142513/aeroco... "Aerocool is as bad as it gets!"
A cheap PSU like that will not only shorten the life of your components like your GPU and CPU as their voltage produced is likely to be out of specification but can also destroy those components in one go when they (with alarming frequency) die as they don't have to required safety systems to protect your other components.
If you're wanting a PC for gaming, a better built PC with an i5 chip and 8Gb of RAM is all you need and ones with quality parts can be found for the same or less money that the eBay one.

This is a good deal and comes with a better case. You even get faster RAM in the deal. You can choose a better PSU, the option you'll probably want is the Corsair CX600m which is still not top notch but a world away from that Aerocool one. If you buy a PSU and fit it in the eBay PC you'll void the warranty. https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/system/weekly_sales_... Cyberpower are well respected and if you can configure it how you like.

Much better PSU but you have gone a bit overboard! The 750W Supernova B2 would have been more than enough. That 660 is very underpowered for such a high end CPU but I assume you'll be changing it eventually?
If they won't fit the PSU for you Cyberpower will do this for £493

a i5? the ebay one could get a i7Yes I know but if they won't change the PSU what use is an i7 that's been destroyed by an Aerocool PSU?
If they will change the PSU it's a good deal. They can change the build that I linked to an i7 if they like as it is £100 less without having to shell out £50 £86 for a better PSU on top of the original purchase price of the eBay build.

Sorry, I'm not explaining my self well I dont think.
eBay build with new PSU = £657.21
Cyberpower PC with OK PSU, nicer case and i7 and 16Gb 1866 RAM, with 3 years warranty = £681
EDIT, Though I really think the best solution all round might be to get the eBay build and get them to fit a less....extravagant but good PSU like an XFX 650W or the Supernova B2 750W thus saving some £££ and not voiding the warranty but of course we won't know if they will do that yet. Fingers crossed they will but always nice to have a plan "B"

You'll only need 850W if you're going for two graphics cards in SLI or Crossfire. Otherwise, a good 750W will run any single GPU solution I can think of apart from an r9 295 (which is really 2 gpu's anyway)
