Seems extremely cheap!?
16GB RAM, i5 processor, 2tb harddrive!?
unsure of how good the gpu is since i usually use nvidia cards and never actually had an ati card.

Obviously there is no OS included but it seems extremely cheap!?
Just looking for someone techy to tell me how good it is? :P

Won't play games.

GPU sucks, motherboard is meh, PSU and case is probably cheap and nasty.

What about that? Would that run games? I only really play Counter Strike: Source and Football Manager.

First one;

Crap old graphics card, only 1333Mhz RAM, PSU will burn your house down

You're better off making your own computer, pre-built systems (like pcspecialist) will have a fee for their labour.

I've only ever built a computer once, a long time ago. So I don't think it's a good idea, considering I won't have a clue what I'm doing.

It's not exactly hard :p

Most shops will have something like a £40 charge if you pick the parts yourself and get them to build it etc

Where as its a 5 minute job and easy to do.

Nothing wrong with 1333MHz.

Indeed.

Higher memory speeds only serve you better in synthetic benchmarks. Will gain you 1FPS in games at most.
