Is this a good gaming pc from gumtree?

[DovyNorris]

Is this a good prebuilt setup or can I build my own setup for the same price and better quality?

This is not a gaming PC- FX4300 processor is weak, and I see no graphics card at all. But to build something new- with OS, monitor and peripherals, decent GPU and CPU- it will cost more.

You can probably find that PC in a trash can... Invest into newer parts like the I3 6100 and GTX 1050 TI

This one is much better: https://www.gumtree.com/p/desktop-workstation-pcs/dell-xps-8500-gaming-desktop-pc-computer/1197563668. Needs only a monitor, and an upgrade of GPU (+50 to 150 pounds) for high-ultra settings at 1080p.

Recommend a £600 custom gaming pc to build for 1080p gaming?
