Good budget PC?

[CptMitta]

Hey all,

My family wants to give me a PC for my 18th birthday. Now, my family prefers me buying a pre-build PC, but if it's possible and within their price range, I could build one.

Now my question is, is this PC a good budget gaming PC? (Pre-build):

Price = €499,95

Processor: AMD Trinity X4 750K QuadCore 3.4Ghz
RAM: 8GB 2x 4096MB DDR3/1333 Corsair ValueSelect CL9
Videocard: 7850 AMD HIS HD 7850 DVI/HDMI/GDDR5 1024MB
Motherboard: Asrock FM2A75 Pro4-M FM2
Space: 500GB Toshiba DT01ACA SATA3/32MB/7200rpm

If this is a good one, my family wants to buy this for me, since we also already have a CD with windows 64 bit.

If this isn't a good one, could any of you maybe put some parts together, in the price range of 500-600 euro?

Thanks in advance,

-Mitta. (If there are any spelling/grammar mistakes, sorry, I'm Dutch.)

It's alright, but there are certainly better things you could do. I know this is at the high end of your budget, but it would kick the crap out of the prebuilt.

Did you add windows in there? I mean you are atleast getting an operating system by going w/ the trinity.

No, I did not, since;

we also already have a CD with windows 64 bit

Though, what do you mean having an OS by going with trinity? I honestly have not seen any benchmarks of reviews on it.
EDIT: I looked up some stuff. It looks like a crippled 8350. Might be good on a super budget system but not when you can afford a 3570K, or even any i5. Or even any i3, it looks like.

They already have a CD Key. So it's far less of a problem than it could be.

Thanks for putting together a list for me, it looks great, and my family is considering it. I was checking out all the parts, and it says that the RAM is out of stock and no longer available. So, i'm not sure if there are other options, or I have to wait till it's available.

Sorry for bumping this, but, is this really the cheapest way? Because im pretty sure all the shipping costs still have to apply.
And that would make it way more than it is now.
(im not sure though, and sorry if im wasting anyones time now, but ive never actually ordered so much at the same time)

What country do you live in? Are there any online retailers (websites) from your country we can use to pick parts from? This would be the best way for us to choose the best build for you.

I live in the Netherlands. I'm not sure if Amazon UK ships free. Maybe Germany does.

No idea which companies ship to Netherlands, sorry.
