People always say to build your own PC. Not buy it from a site or shop. It generally is more cost effective but you also lack tech support or full warranty on the system. Here:

The PSU is garbage. Swap it out immediately

 

You should be able to get a Skylake rig with DDR4 for about the same price and you're limiting yourself with 2GB of VRAM. The R9 380 would also be the better choice in terms of gaming performance.

 

By the looks of it, this build looks like a prebuilt. Am I wrong?

Also a 960 will run most games at 60fps if you turn the details down on more demanding titles.

Building it yourself costs less. Also, not hard at all. Also, replace 960 with a 380 and that PSU will nuke itself. Choose one from tiers 1 to 4 on this list:

Its okay for 1080p 60fps (not maxed on games like witcher 3 though),

but it depends on the price of course.

Id say get a 6600k (skylake) instead and definitely get a better psu.

Also get a 256gb ssd so you can keep your programms and a few game on it.

How about this one

It's slightly better. Although many people have said the right thing which is to build your own rig. With 800 pounds, you can get a build that runs 1080p 60FPS on Ultra IF you build it yourself.

find out what that corsair 550w psu is first. http://www.corsair.com/en/power-supply-units with the specs, it should be at least a CS psu, not a CX/-M or VS

CX/-M psus are more for budget rigs while the VS is made for office pcs, neither are for high-end gaming pcs.

it'll take several hours to build your first pc as a newbie, but its quite easy. just be careful and don't break the pins and you'll be fine. go watch some build guides online or try to find an old junk pc to test it on. personally liked austin evans build guides so you can try those. What's your budget?

Think of it as this; it's pretty much grown-up Lego. It's not as hard as you think. There are also plenty of tutorials online and you can always ask here if you ever need help. If you're competent and not an idiot, at most it'll take a couple of hours.
