From what I can see, it's pretty good. Ivy Bridge, 8GBs of ram(more than enough for me) and a decent GPU. Best of all it looks like it can be upgraded down the road.

I'll be using it mainly for gaming. So, what do you all think? My budget is around 800 euro. Please, don't tell me to go custom built, I've looked into it and for several reasons won't be going custom.

Fair enough, although I thought that this sub forum would do grand.

If you give a budget in the building forum, you will get a better built PC, upgradable and priced to be delivered already built. Don't go buying a stock build when you can get a custom PC ready built to your specs and tested from the same company.
You'll also get several options based on your needs. Don't rush ointo anything and take the advice from the guys, they're fantastic and know their stuff.
