Really depends on what you intend doing with the pc the link takes you too a pc build which is just over the 300 quid mark inc vat it has integrated graphics which has never usually been great for me in the past. Memory is quite low at 2gb by today's standards, thus is the PSU 350w which makes future graphic card upgrades problematic any other add on that runs of PSU.
As a web surfer, word processor, office use it should be fine. Older pc games should run providing Windows 10 can. I'd recommend pricing up components separate and self build, I'm sure you can build a better Pc that way.

The link goes to what I'd configured for me. Must be something to do with cookies. Never mind then.

Looks alright to me, probably not much difference in performance than mine and I can get by playing games and di video editing.
Keith and Deano may be able to add to this topic.

AMD A8-7650K Quad Core APU (3.3GHz) & Radeon™ R7 Graphics This confuses me CPU and graphics or integrated?
Might want to get a smallish ssd for windows and use sata for everything else
Otherwise looks OK

Thanks for the replies. The cpu was showing like that before I added a graphics card. I just thought it meant integrated graphics of some sort.

Pile of shyt. At least get a 9 series gtx instead of the power hungry 7 and pair it with an i5 not that AMD bollocks. But seriously its alright depends what u want it for, if you do want to use it for games it will run most of todays at medium/high, Id up the psu a bit to give you the ability to upgrade to a better graphics card in the future. My boys pc has just gone from a gtx670 to a 970 and the difference is staggering, in a year or two the 9 series will be very affordable. I also got another two sticks of that ram same as yours from Amazon to bring it up to 16, it was wotrh doing and only cost about £17 so thats something to think about aswell.

Going intel puts the price up too much.

Yep that will do it, the 960 is a tad better than the 670 i had but runs cooler and draws less power so the 450w psu will do the job, youv'e uped the cpu so no chance of that bottle necking the 960, I havent looked at the case im assuming it comes with fans, if not at the very minimum make sure it has one at the front and another top rear.
As for Bang for buck it looks good to me it should run today's games on high with some settings on max depending on how your old eyes are at detecting fps. Go for it.
