You can do much better for the money, if you don't want to build it yourself your options are to get the prebuilt, or get this.

It's not too bad for a pre-built i suppose. You would obviously get more for your money if you custom built and can choose better parts for the money but if you strictly are looking for a pre-built system, this would be capable of playing most modern games at High/Ultra settings in 1080p and easily do typical desktop tasks. If you are interested in looking into custom building it's not hard and we on Tom's can help you out with picking parts and such. Hope this help :)

Thank you for the quick reply! For now I'm going to stick with the pre-built system but eventually I would like to get into building my own, and i'll be sure to come back here!

Cheers mate!

I think that junk case is what I would question. A lot of vendors like that cheap out on critical components, and the case is definitely one of them. Same thing with that EVGA B series power supply.

Mhm that was my thoughts. Seems like a modest deal for a pre-built and either way i imagine most typical pre-builts come with mediocre or sub-par Power Supplies and/or Cases so not much you can really do about it but custom build (which OP clearly doesn't want to do) so it's a trade off i guess.
 
I sell prebuilts and tbh it's what I do too. :p
Especially in Aus where a decent PSU like a Corsair CX450M will set you back 85 bucks while a Corsair VP 450/550w will cost you $40, with 1060/RX 580 rigs it's the much better choice for squeezing out value and making profit margins.
Case can be iffy, depending on the range a cheap case can be good.

They have a few different options but only on cases, is this case any better - Case Built In - Titan Gaming Case With Side Window and Green LED Fans ?
Is the power supply easy to upgrade? because I could possibly have the money to do so at Christmas

It most likely can, I'm not familiar with that particular case though.
