See? For 20$ and a (crappy) headset less, you're getting a gtx 770, which is bound to be a bit more future-proof than the 760. That looks like a nice enough deal for a pre-built, but yeah, there can be something better. Keep this as your last resource.

If you can contact them and get the exact PSU model, depending on what it is it may be better or worse, so be sure to check that out.

Uhm...that's not a good deal in the first place IMO...
For 1200$ you can get MUCH better:
- An i7 is good, but unneeded unless you're going to crossfire or do video editing/encoding. IMO, it's also overkill with any single-GPU system strictly dedicated to gaming and nothing else.
- No aftermarket CPU cooler...the stock cooler is barely enough on an i5, and they're using it on its Hyperthreading-enabled model...
- 16GB RAM are overkill as well, unless you're going to do some light video editing/encoding in this case as well. There's also no brand specified...
- A 760 is a good card, but it won't be too much future proof...you'd need at least a 770 for that, or a 280x if you wanted to go AMD.
- No motherboard/PSU models specified. It could say 80+ Bronze, but some other cheap PSU series use to say so and are avoided by the community due to their cheaper components (which decrease the cost, but make them less reliable)
- The case feels like the usual flashy stuff which works decently, but has a huge price increase due to "fashionable" additions like leds and other similar gadgets.

You'd best be off trying to build something else on your own, or at least choosing the pieces yourself.
For example, get an i5-4690 (non-k if you're not interested in OCing) and at least a 770/280x GPU.
Get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler, as the stock cooler will be barely enough.
The PSU would be ok if we knew the model was about good quality, 650W provides enough headroom for the aformentioned GPUs, and don't go for anything higher than 8GB @1600Mhz in RAM.
This will prove to be a very nice starting point for enthusiast/high-level gaming and will not last just a couple years ;p

That said, I'm not much into dust filters, but I know they usually get put where intake fans are. So, if you're willing to buy and install your own, check first of all if the case supports them, and then put them wherever there's an intake fan. Exhaust fans won't need it, since they're "pushing out" dust rather than "pulling it in", unless it got in from any intake fan...

Thanks a lot for the answer. My friend recommended me this computer and I thought it was pretty good for a pre-build but i'm not sure anymore.. I would use it for editing video but also for gaming (games like cs or skyrim). I don't really want to build my own computer because i get pretty stressed about it (might sound weird 😛) and I don't think I could even if I really wanted. I don't wanna bother you too much but do you think you could recommend me a pre-built computer you think would be more suitable? Also, thanks for the fans explanation, I'll get them once I choose my computer I guess haha

Getting a nice pre-built for gaming is like asking for a half-miracle 😀
Most of your typical retailers sell you flashy cases, huge amounts of RAM and storage and an i7 they can afford on stock cooler. The money that would be literally thrown away gets used for the cheapest video-card and PSU they can mount.

For pre-built gaming solutions, you should look into iBuyPower, Alienware(Dell) or Origin. Get a look into their deals, as most can be also customized a bit. Most of their systems going for 1000$ and higher will be pretty much future proof. I currently don't have time ATM, I will probably give a look myself later 😛

Thanks for that, i actually found one that looks pretty decent imo : http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227576 Flashy case again and crappy mouse and keyboard but I think overall it's not too bad of a deal for a pre-built what do you think could i get better?

As an additional protection aside from filter, I suggest you buy a dust cover for your PC. Having a dust cover is one of the many preventive ways in protecting your PC against dust, moisture and spills.
