From gov.uk website: 

 

" Advertising to consumers

The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations mean you can’t mislead or harass consumers by, for example:
 
including false or deceptive messages
leaving out important information
using aggressive sales techniques" 
 
if that doesn't mislead a customer with a false message I don't know what does.

I wouldn't spend a shit on a pre built pc.

The only reason I would ever buy a pre built pc is for warranty better cable management ( hut who really cares) and custom  water cooling.

Only get that if you're going to add a GPU. You're buying a non gaming desktop there. Add a GPU and it'll run games.

This one is Significantly more powerful, But id recommend you to build a rig yourself.

This would be better for Gaming, I recommend the FX 6300 over the G3258 since some games doesnt support dual core CPU's.

Thank you all for the feedback. Currently considering these two builds:

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/BCdxQ7

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/v38j7P

Which one should I go for, should be able to do decent gaming on stuff like gmod, csgo, dayz, etc.

Definitely consider the r9 270 build IMHO. Overclocks to 270x performance, and performs better than the 750 ti. Cant really beat AMD in the value deals now. If you need a Windows installation, Iv'e heard some in the forum mention http://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap/ as a good place to go. Haven't used a key from there yet though, so can't speak from experience.

I don't do signatures.

That second one looks very decent to me. However, for DayZ, you want an Intel CPU. It's a very CPU heavy game and isn't particularly great at making use of cores. I'd look towards a Pentium K or i3.

Again, i've tweaked and taken onboard all your suggestions (thanks). Anymore feedback on that?

 

Was considering on the GPU going for a better GPU: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9270gaming2g

 

would that be beneficial?

I'm not sure if that board can overclock, go for the H81M-Plus Asus. You should also get an SSD in like my previous build

£14 on fans is too much for this budget

That GPU is barely better, stick with the current option

So, get rid of the twin fans, switch the board and keep the current gpu?

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/MJcRbv (updated)

What's the point of an SSD? They're quite pricey.

And with the fans, it didn't seem too much so I thought I'd just add them.

And add an ssd, yes. So the XFX 270 is fine, fans aren't really needed as the case will come with one/two, switch the board (basically my list :P )
