Seems decent for the price, I'd skip bull guard and use the Microsoft supplied windows defender. And if your planning on using WiFi I'd plump up for the updated card, 300n isn't upto the task of playing anything modern online to be honest. Pay the couple quid for silver warranty, and if I was you I would strear clear of spinning rust drives, and try for an ssd, even if it's smaller than you would hope to have, ssd/nvme is night and day better than a hard disk, wouldn't even consider running Windows on a spinner nowadays.

Oh if you already have a Windows license, then use that and save the 100quid for upgrading the ssd/nic

What's your max budget?

As above, it would cost a minimum of about £800 for a gaming PC, anything less will give a really poor experience and isn't worth it over a console.

It wont be a poor experience I don't have all the money in the world and why are you selling under £800 at stores huh my budget was at £600 but I had to change to under £600

You won't be able to get a custom gaming PC at that budget, something off the shelf or second hand would be your only options

These people are experts. They're also volunteers.

They aren't trying to get any extra money out of you. They're trying to help you.

All I see on these forums is the same people helping strangers every day in getting the best pc for their needs. Quite often they tell people their system is over specced and they can save money.

If they say you need to spend £800, then either save more or buy second hand pc, console or something off the shelf.

Do you speak actual english

Rather than being rude, perhaps you should try. Start by forming whole sentences rather than just random disjointed words.

No one you're talking at here works for PCS. Everyone is a volunteer and many, like Spydertacks have helped untold people with his expertise.

You're being repeatedly told you're buying a system that is underpowered for gaming. Rather than being hurt and offensive, try listening.

Or, if you're so convinced that you know best, go ahead and spend the money.
