Hey people, I am looking for a new computer and I have about £600ish to spend. I've watched loads of videos and benchmarks etc and I really don't need a stupid amount of money on a PC like £1000 when the £600 will do the exact same thing. Examples I want to play Skyrim at 1080p Max.

So with that said I have my eyes on this;

Now this is slightly over budget, but it is all you can afford. It will Max Skyrim if you don't mind 50FPS occasionally.
