well everyone would say build your own but if you have to get prebuilt that is ok but i would probably upgrade gpu to an i5 3570k and the gpu to 650 or 660 but if you want intel go for 7870 or 7850


hope i helped a bit

You're clearly just pulling all of this from your rear end my friend. You're right about custom builds being the superior option, but the i5 3570k is a CPU not a GPU, and the actual GPU is already a 650 which isn't great for gaming, Intel don't make GPU's, AMD make those and they're FAR out of the price range of the 650. The processor is low end for gaming and the GPU could be better, but I can see that you're on a budget. Just build your own and if you want the best opinions post in PC Building not PC Support.

It doesn't have an AMD CPU, it has an i3 which really isn't ideal for gaming, by the looks of it the website doesn't even let you use AMD GPU's in your build which is awful. I would personally recommend building your own and if you're unsure and want to use their build as a basic guideline, go for the 7770 over the 650 and get an i5 3570k if you can afford to spend less on another area of the system, or put more into your budget.

500 pounds or less. Might not even have 500 to spend.

Are you willing to custom build or not? You will get more for your money and if you buy a pre-built I guarantee that you'll regret it when you come to learn more about hardware.
