That's a pretty low spec system for the price, tbh. Based on what I can tell, it has the Ryzen 5 2400G and no dedicated GPU (essentially it is comparable to an Xbox One S in performance).

 

If you are OK with those specs, you can build it yourself for far less.

Edit: 

Here is a 200 pound less build with pretty much the same specs -

Edit 2: You could drop the SSD to cut costs a bit more, but having a super fast boot drive is nice to have. Up to you.
