I am new to PC gaming and am considering getting a gaming pc with these specs:

 

Please could someone advise me on whether these will play simulation games well and whether £500 is a good price

 

  • AMD 6400K (2 x 3.9 GHz) 
  • 8 GB DDR3 1333 MHZ
  • 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA-III HDD 
  • Gigabyte F2A58M-HD2
  • On-Board AMD Radeon HD 8370D
  • 450W PSU
  • Windows 10 - 64 BIT
  • 24x Dual Layer DVD Reader/Writer

 

Thanks in advanced.
