I know, I know, it's always cheaper to build your own system from parts, but I'm the kinda person who sets themselves on fire when making toast. I'm seriously useless at things like this and I'd be too scared of breaking expensive things.
I'm looking to simply buy a system that has been built already. As for the games I'd be wanting to play, well, I'd be looking at playing WoW, Hearthstone, Heroes of the storm (when it releases obviously) and possibly some other exclusive PC titles. I own a PS4 so I'll still be buying multiplatform games for that, it's just mainly Blizzard games and the PC exclusives that I'm interested on playing on this new system.
Are any of the options below viable? I'm willing to pay a bit more for not having to build it myself.
Im currently building my first as well. If u dont plan on building it urself, plenty of online stores do the assembly for 50$ extra. The machines selling on retail for 700-800 are 500-600 machines with alot of cheap parts. So ur better off collecting the hardware and let someone put it together.
U can also do what i do: Find someone that knows how to build and build it together (throw in a small reward). That way, next time u can do it urself. I also plan to assemble and dissemble my current desktop to practise. Maybe u can too.
Just in comparison: The 700 pound machine http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/-b-NEW...60-94p1888.htm
I took just the parts it said it comes with (and same kind / price range parts) And i come @ 975dollars. = 570 pounds. And i took a more expensive HD, etc. So u can imagine the price difference.
I had a look at both the sites you linked and almost every build i looked is at least £120, most around 150+, more expensive than they should even with the discounts they say they got on some. Are you willing to pay that much extra to have it build? Cause seriously those are pounds not usd or even euro.

the 700-800budget you got, does it include the extra you willing to pay to have it build or its on top of that?
You're both right, that's more than I was thinking for getting a pre-built system.
Luckily I posted a similar question on Facebook and a friend directed me to this: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/sho...82&postcount=4 - He has also kindly offered to put everything together once I have the parts. What do you guys think of that? Thanks once more.
If those specs are good then I'll have him build it for me. Hopefully teach me how to do it too so I can build my own in future.
Yeah I need both a monitor and an OS. I'm not sure how much an OS is these days (I'm still using XP :P), but I've found a monitor for around £95 which I like the look of.
Unfortunately I don't. If I held out for a bit longer and saved a bit more money, would that help drastically? Could probably add another £80-150 to the budget.
If you found another monitor like you said and you got an older hdd you can save those 80pounds over budget. Win 8.1 cost another 20 or so, would get you to around 900total.
IF not then on the above build change the following proc and mobo for an i3 build, the rest are the same:
