Life is like a clogged toilet. It's full of crap until you do something about it.

I don't speak Karate!

I'd say no, just looking at the processor.

£700 for an i3?
Hahaha no.

But it do.

That is a very good GPU. I say get it and upgrade the processor to and i5 when you can afford it.

Are you kidding me? £700 is over $1000 and you aren't even getting a medium level processor for that.

Yeah but we're talking about a pre-built here. You very rarely find a good GPU such as that one in a pre-built for less than $2000 (give or take). The i3 isn't even all that bad. Sure it isn't the best, but it's at least 3.3GHz which is usually enough for most games. I doubt it would even bottleneck the 7870.

Nonsense. The 7870 is a mid-range card that doesn't belong in a gaming PC that comes anywhere near $2000.

Hardware tends to be marked up by around 30% in the UK so a direct conversion isn't valid.

That price is horrible. That price could get you a nice computer.

This

If it was an i5 it would be worth it.

Link or it didn't happen.

That's awful. Either find a better deal or build your own.

So? It's still a good card but it's not top of the line. Had it come out a year sooner, sure. I wouldn't expect to find a ~£200 card in a ~£1400 PC.

If you are unable to build your own, yes. If you are able to build your own, hell no.
