Would it be worth buying any of these computers for playing PC games such as GTA V, Battlefield Hardline and DayZ etc?

or would it be even possible to get a decent gaming computer for 400GBP or under?

Sort of a noob at this as it will be my first gaming computer.

Source games, that's about it.

Neither of these PCs will be able to run much, definitely not anything post 2012 @ 1080p w/ decent graphic settings. What's your budget? I'd highly recommend building your own rig, rather than buying a pre-built.

Do you think its possible to build one for around £400 GBP ? I can build a computer but I don't know much about which components are better and which are compatible.

Use PCpartpicker. That has a compatibility check so you cant choose something that wont fit your mobo etc.

Build your own more performance per dollar/pound.

Thanks man. I've built computers before, but, it was in college and we didn't really learn about better components.

Could you not stretch your budget a bit? You cant expect alot with £400.

£400 is perfectly fine. No need to stretch your budget. You only have as much as you have, and that's fine. However, we need more info to help.

Will you overclock?
What exactly will the system be used for?
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need a mouse?
Do you need a keyboard?
