The one you are looking at is pretty good I would get it, should run D3 and WoW fine

OKies thanks for your help mate

It is okay, will run WoW and D3 without issues, but how much will it cost? If it costs more than 800-900 dollars, then it is overpriced.

heres a computer build I just made up that will get you along for a long time to come.

600 pounds is definitely overpriced for such a system. Both the i3 and the Geforce GTX 550 are last-gen hardware and not really worth such a hefty price-tag.

its i5 btw not i3

It is mediocre Teeko. The CPU is not the best and the 550TI is a pretty bad GPU in all honesty. Can you link the website you are finding these at and I can see if there is a better alternative.

Im looking at the 'ebuyer' website an thats where this pc is from, but ive also been looking at the overclockers website too..

[hapylol]

This is what I came up with @ overclockers. The 6850 and 560TI are out of stock ATM and I would choose either of those over the 560 I selected.

Teeko,

You could get a vastly better system if you could build it yourself(or bring it to a store and have them build it)
