I can't find much wrong with this for the price...
processor benchmarks at 5175, decent ram, ssd to run windows and 1tb hdd for movies, separate graphics card too.
can't find any but there must be a very discount voucher about too there always is?!

Yes like i said it can be upgraded with graphic card, sound,ram, even the chip can go upto the i7.
I have looked all over the web there's the Amd A8, A10 i was looking at but the i5 on test with near the same chip was faster and its lighting faster then my old dual core( already got Scandisk ssd drive from my old computer which i will put in because its only 6mths old.
I just bought a lenovo h50 Desktop from PcWorld I5 3.2 processor,8gb ram wifi, 1tb hd dvdrw drive, graphics and sound built in but not bovvered about that as you can upgrade them runs quite fast and quite apart form the dvd when it spins
down to £399 i am well pleased with it.
It knock the cr*p out of my old dual core machine so much faster on everything even my internet is faster.
And if anything goes wrong with it you can take it back( don't have to post back you can just pop in to PcWorld)

It's a price comparison website for computer components. They won't send you anything. :smiley:

i don't think the 20 percent off for new customers would work actually hmmm
The 20% discount cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer codes, and cannot be used on the following ranges: iPhones, audio, gaming, computers, projectors and tablets. Sale items, financial services products and delivery charges are also excluded from the offer.

This looks like a great deal for only £399.99. I don't see what could be wrong with it?
I already have an account but tempted to get a family member to sign up for the 20 percent off deal which would take 106 off the bundle package or 80 off just the desktop... you could always just pay it off straight away if you didn't want to be worrying about paying every month although its easy to set up a direct debit to pay off
£411 shipped with 860K and Geforce GTX750 Ti instead. Excludes a keyboard and mouse, and a bit larger, but I didn't really look around at cases and PSUs, and it lacks Wifi.

As usual with these silly builds,the PSU will blow the thing up :-/
You can use dual-GPU mode to use both the integrated and discrete GPUs, however the R7 240 is not recommended for this CPU, the R7 250 is, although there isn't that much difference between the two (240 is about 80% of a 250, and bother are rather slow): http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/dual-graphics
I find it hard to vote on this one as is. The A10 7800 comes with integrated graphics; in that the computer comes with a graphics card, why not use a 860K, instead of the A10 7800, the 860K being more or less analogous to a A10 7800 but without the integrated graphics, saving £43. I don't know how much the AMD A5 330 cost as it's an OEM part but let's say £35? You could spend that money on a GTX 750TI. Only very slightly more cost but with much better performance.

Is graphics card built into motherboard?
There are quite a few AMD A10 7850k base units on ebay that are under £300, how does this compare to those as I am in the market for a similar system.

Not too sure I presumed it wouldn't be as it says dedicated...

This one ? Processor looks faster but no ssd hard drive or dedicated graphics so don't think it would perform as well although I'm not sure, both should be great!

The GPU (R5 330) is the same as the R5/R7 240 GPU (R5 vs R7 seems to be slightly different clock speeds but same GPU core).

This review of the 7670K also shows the impact of dual graphics in gaming performance with the same level of GPU:
