Hello!

 

Need some assistance in helping my friend pick a PC.

Friend is in the UK, wants to ONLY buy from Dell (Don't ask me why..) and the budget is at 800 GBP, there is a possibility for the budget to be about 1000 GBP but don't count on it.

Primarily I'd like help in finding something at/around £800 but if you know something that is between 800-1000 as well do link me that too.

 

There is a PC that my friend has looked at and asked about, you can find it here. Would it be good enough or not?

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

1. Budget & Location

UK, 800 GBP

 

2. Aim
Gaming Only + Must be able to upgrade it (Should be no issue but its her aim/requirements)

 

3. Monitors
No monitor needed

4. Peripherals
No peripherals needed

5. Why are you upgrading?
To quote her: Tired of looking at shiny hair in Dragon Age: Inquisition

That prebuilt is pathetic, it has an nvidia gt745! That gpu will only be able to run games at low, but you could build a custom pc for that price that could max out almost any game.
