So, right now im on my laptop, which is pretty crap tbh. I play games on it, even though it isn't a gaming computer. I have picked
this one out
and would like to know if it is any good.
Before any of you say stuff like "Buy a better one!" can i just clarify that i have a set budget on this as i need to pay for driving tests aswell. My plan is to start on that, and gradually purchase upgrades for it as such. So, any good to start off with?

Seems alright =) Altho ppl who know a little more about PC rather build their own with its own specifications.
Doesn't seem to come with a monitor which raises your price by about 20%

That'll run most games fine, though you might not be able to run top-of-the-line games (Crysis and such).
The prices is questionable, however (I would say).

I know, it's the cheapest gaming one i could find. I could go to Cex and get one, but they're pre-owned and most of the time, screwed in some way. And i know, i'm only looking to play WoW, TF and L4D. Might need one or two upgrades.

PACKARD BELL, stopped reading there. Every Packard Bell comp my family have had have always been crap, crashing for no apparent reason and being overall crappy. I would not get a Packard even if I was payed to use it. Tbh even if your not that good with computers I would suggest to build it yourself it's much cheaper then a brand one.
Yea i'm taking my friends rig of his xfire profile and taking the list to Mplex. They could probably build it for slightly more than that but, more value for money.

Cex, Derry/Londonderry? If so,
a) Good luck finding one in there mate.
b) If you do, its guaranteed to be banjaxed.

There is a Cex in Lisburn beside the Mall, and one in Belfast in Victoria Street (i think). I'm going out tomorrow to Currys to get the Advent Centurion one.
