Found this...
ADMI® HERO Gaming PC: AMD A4 6320 4.0GHz Turbo Dual Core with HD 8370D Graphics & Triple Monitor Support - HDMI 1080p, USB 3.0 Motherboard - 8GB DDR3 RAM - 1TB HARD DRIVE - 24x DVDRW - 500W PSU - 150mbps WiFi - Aerocool X-Predator Gaming Cube Case - PRE-INSTALLED with WINDOWS 7

Would that be good for gaming?

No this pc is not good for gaming.
How much does it cost btw?

 

[amichaels33]

320 UK pounds. How come it's not good?

For 320 UK pounds you won't get a decent gaming PC. This PC won't even start modern games.. or maybe on 800*600 resolution with lowest settings, lagging the spirit out of the games. It has a very poor APU with integrated gpu. And last.. this 320uk pounds price is a scam for this mess. Don't ever think of buying it.

If your intention is to play modern, and upcoming games on medium settings on 1080p resolution with a decent framerate, you should consider building your own PC, and purchasing everything part-by-part. thats the cheapest and best way to do it. And at tomshardware everyone will be glad to help you.
To be honest i think to build a gaming PC which can actually handle games you will need at least an i5, 8gb ram and a gtx 960.. So somewhere around 600-700 pounds, but I'm not really familiar with UK prices.

Hell i've just checked on amazon and this APU costs 30 pound, and they are selling this crap for 320 pounds...

Thank you for the help!!!! Saved me money

I've never built a pc before so have absolutely no idea what I'm doing....

My best bet may be buying a second hand alienware?

No. Building a PC is easy, even for starters. Just don't want to do it fast, because beeing in a hurry always messes things up.
There are plenty of guides how to assemble a PC , with videos, articles, photo guides and deep explanation. And purchasing second hand hardware is not a good idea again...
