Hi, I'm currently looking to buy my first gaming PC for under £700 and have found a bundle on DinoPc called the Primal GE2 which comes with a monitor which I need. I've tweaked with the components a bit and am overall happy with each of them, but my only concern is the CPU; the AMD FX 8350 which came out in 2012 and I'm not sure if this is too outdated for my current gaming needs. As for the games I want to play they're mostly e-sport level such as Rocket League, CS-GO, PUBG, and R6.
Here is the list of all the PC components:
AMD FX 8350 Black Edition CPU (8 Core, 4.0GHz - 4.2GHz, 8MB Cache)
8GB DDR3 1600mhz RAM
Asus GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti Phoenix 4GB GDDR5
Seagate FireCuda 1TB 3.5" SATA III SSHD (5x Faster than HDD)
Gigabyte 760G motherboard
Windows 10
300mbps wireless card
Cit Dragon 3 case
AeroCool 500W 80+ Bronze PSU
AOC 21.5" full-HD monitor
859 Befire Black Keyboard 928 Killing Soul Black Mouse Gaming Combo
5 year warranty

Total= £710

All I wanna know is if I'm getting good value for the money I'm paying and if there are any problems or better deals out there. Would appreciate any replies! :)

Short answer, stay away from it. Not only is the cpu comparable to a 2 core pentium g4560, but the psu is also a trash. Would ask you to build ur own.
