Hi, I'm looking to get a good gaming PC or 500£ or under and I don't know what things are good and are bad. I'm looking for a pre-built system. Is there anyone who could help me out here?

 

I hate to say it, but the odds of finding a gaming PC in that price range are slim, let alone a good one.  Let's put it this way: Dell's basic Inspiron desktops with Intel integrated graphics (i.e. not really suited to gaming) start around £450.

 

Like 5x5 suggested, you might hit that target if you build it yourself and keep expectations low: entry-level CPU, entry-level GPU, that sort of thing.  But realistically, you should be saving up for more.  You don't need to save another grand, but a few hundred more pounds would give you much more breathing room.
