Is this a good pre-built for its price?

TheLuftWaffle · Aug 5, 2016

I have been looking to build a computer for a while now, however this pre-built has caught my eye:

I was wondering if this is a good PC for its price, and if any of you have been able to build a similar PC for cheaper. My budget is around £1300 give or take and I already have a 1440p 144hz monitor that's relatively new. I'd use it for word processing, and generally heavy amounts of gaming. I'd be buying it in October.

Thank you in advance

So, if you were in my shoes, would you go for the parts or the prebuilt?

A bargain when the prices of components are bought individually (even using UK retailers). http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/GRHXvV I added in the PSU but still doesn't have an optical drive, a case or OS. (Probably have to add another £150ish on top.)

Plus, you get a warranty as well. Something a self built PC never has...

EDIT: prebuilt.

Is this a good pre-built for its price?
