So i have been thinking about buying a gaming/streaming pc, but i'm not all that knowledgeable of which i7 / video card are the best for me... I recently struck my eye on this:

PC on sale

It's well within my budget, the only problem i have is there's no more info besides that... and as i said i don't really know if this video card and i7 are good enough for gaming/streaming/video converting once in a blue moon. Besides that it also needs to be good enough for multiple virtual machines and programming... But up to now i haven't really build my own desktop (never had the budget thus far) so i'm really wondering if this one would be good enough, or if i should build my own one.

if this one is good enough it would open up my budget for other things.

i know it not having a SSD is a shame but i could always put that in later?

Thanks in advance for the help

Edit: basically it sais it's covered for dropping/water damage for 3 years. in case you wondered :p

What's the harm in trying to build your own within that price range? It's worth it at least to compare.

you might want to re-think the gaming part which is in the Β£61-Β£90 price range, so I assume that AMD is even cheaper than this nVidia
nop, you're not gonna play much on that computer

this is that AMD card against my 2 years old laptop
and I can't play much on it :|

you've been warned. peace!

I don't know much about the new 8000 series, but it's an X570 which usually means it's a lower performance GPU, it would be better to build a PC yourself, maybe I can even help building a PC for your budget :P

easely assuming they use a some kind of cheap Foxconn motherboard with everything in it (maybe this gfx chipset is even on it!)
also HP cases are mostly plastic, throwing 15eur into a DVDR, a few more bucks on PSU+1TB (dirty cheap now)
that CPU is locked, read not K series as in cheap, 16GB can be hefty depeding on speed/brand
+1 decent wifi card and it's almost done :D
