Would you be open to building your own system? You could get better parts at the same price.

Except for the PSU, that build is actually shockingly good for a pre build at that price.
But a bad PSU is a deal breaker for me and should be for everyone.

I think you missed the part that was in pounds, not dollars. thats like $1250 US for an i3 , 270x computer, that's stupid expensive in the US!

however, I dont know if the parts perhaps cost more in UK.

Oh of course! Geesh was about to say something is NOT right.
In that case.

MUCH better.
