This PC should be able to run most games at 60fps with high-ultra settings. It can also do some light to medium rendering and editing. Very good PC for a prebuilt price I would say.

That is a pretty good computer, should play any game on reasonably high settings with no problems.

Downside with a pre built computer is you don't know if they put a decent quality power supply and motherboard in it.
But at least you get a warranty..

Would you say I need to include a SSD or more fans etc? Not really sure if I need a SSD.

Thanks.

More fans are usually not needed. One is OK, and 2 are plenty
I have an SSD. It is great. The PC turns on really fast, programs install in 5 seconds, and open the instant you click on them.. Searching for things on the SSD is mega fast, and windows updates are a breeze.
Doesn't help performance when you are playing a game though

Thank you very much, will look into getting one too. Also these 2 PC's from what I can see are virtually the same however the one on Aria PC has things like the PSU brand listed. However it is slightly more expensive but I feel like a more reputable company. This is the PC I think is very similar: http://www.aria.co.uk/Systems/Gaming+Range/Next+Day+Gaming+PCs/GLADIATOR+Intel+i5-4460+%2F+GTX960+Next+Day+Gaming+PC+?productId=63542&rqcType=r#rqc

What would be your recommendation in terms of company/build?

Thank you.

That PC has a Corsair power supply. Corsair used to have a fairly good reputation, but they have been suffering from reliability problems and people on this forum no longer recommend them.
The VX550 is the cheapest, lowest spec Corsair power supply that you can buy on Amazon.
Aria PC have to make a profit somehow....

There is a very good reason why people build their own PC....

BTW, a good quality 250Gb SSD costs about £70 on Amazon. A PC build company will usually charge more than this.
