Gaming option?

Definite graphics upgrade. I personally wouldn't go with anything less than 4 cores these days though, especially with next-gen type games around the corner. Games are definitely going multi-threaded and quickly.

I would go for the "Vortex i5" if you are looking at pre-built systems. It's a little more money, but you get a much faster CPU and a much faster GPU as well.
 
Ah thanks for the info but keeping to a budget at the moment so best a could find really, just wondering if a bought this could I install an i5 or i7 later on when moneys more available? Will a have trouble with compatibility ect? The games a play arent the newest so not really wanting to pay to much at the moment but if something new takes ma fancy ad want to be able to change things like cpu and graphics card no prob...
 
Big problem with that setup is the PSU: You basically need to replace ASAP as it's not that good. Something like the Corsair CX430 or CX500 would do the trick.
 
Am sure a could make a change to that build if a rang up and specified a different psu, would that be the only concern regarding future upgrading mate?
 
Can you build your own? I am sure you'll get much more for your money. It is not that hard. I would order from Amazon assuming their return policy is similar to Amazon in the USA.

Just touch metal in the case, be careful, don't scrape the PCB boards, and read the directions. There are about 7 things to plug into the motherboard, then CPU (place on, clip down). Heat sink/fan varies depending on design. GPU, RAM, and any other PCI/E card is extremely simple. HDD/SSD is also extremely easy. It will probably take you an hour or so to assemble it. I would suggest that you read up a bit more and see if you can build your own to maximize price/performance.
 
Av never built a system mate, a see where ur coming from with a built it ursef option but rather it was just a plug and play situation then a know there's less chance of doing something wrong lol a have thought of going down that road and trying to build but bit to much money to take a chance on of doing something wrong or wiring wrong if that makes sense :)
