So it looks like this Argos deal is pretty good if you want a quick way into PC gaming.
I'd ask questions about the PSU which is a 300W "adapter"; is it not a standard case PSU?!?!

Usually I would just say build your own PC or go with a PC specialist. But you can't go wrong for £750. Even if building your self using similar parts you wouldn't be saving much. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/h4Dr8K
But then on the other hand the PSU inside this doesn't look great and I do question if you can replace it or not. If not then putting a more powerful card inside this like a 1080 is a big fat no. But if the PSU is replaceable then you should be able to but will obviously cost more due to having to buy a better PSU.

Nope, it's a laptop style brick on the omen. I think it might even be 2 of them!

Hmmm. I guess the i5 CPU + GTX1060 are quite power efficient. But a laptop style brick(s) is not an ideal baseline for future upgrades.
