Nice spec for the price, proper quad core CPU, SSD and a dedicated GPU for some light gaming. Perfect base system for upgrading the GPU down the line to something like a GTX 1050 Ti, which doesn't require any power connectors.

Alternatively you can buy a refurb i5 4460 or 4570 from eBay for £170. The CPU benchmarks identical to this 6400. Spend that saved money on a better PSU and a GTX*whatever* for a gaming rig.

Or if you just want a pc that works out of the box and have got no intention of building your own pc, buy the one listed in op.

but it isn't hard to install a graphics card.
you open the case. take the old one out. put the new one in. attach one of the power cables inside the case.
i just bought a refurubished dell workstation on ebay for 150 quid that is only slightly slower cpu wise than my previous pc but has a much bigger power supply so I could put a better graphics card in.

I cant find any 8gb at the moment. We had a bunch of i5 4460 deals on here that have expired.

Low profile GT740 for £50 (30% faster than this GT730)

Bam, now you've only spent £218 on a system that has identical CPU speed and has 30% more graphics performance. Saved £251.
Maybe use £25 to buy an 128GB SSD to boot from.
