I'm looking to get a gaming computer, I had originally planned to build my own with a budget of £500 however I'm quite intrigued by this as it's on sale and so now within my price range. I wanted to get others opinions. Would this be a good computer for gaming (Skyrim, Dota 2, LoL, Far Cry)? As well as fast internet browsing, some video editing etc?

For the price it'a currently at, what do you think? Obviously I still need to buy an OS and other software. Would it be worth getting and then maybe upgrading components such as the graphics card?

The original price: 824 Pounds is ridiculous. Personally, I wouldn't go for it. Let me see if I can build a better rig at that price. What all do you need? Fill this form! http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/353572-31-build-upgrade-advice
