    It's not great and not very specific with what parts are in it. Graphics = Nvidia., that's it?

    What's it for? You could build a custom pc yourself to suit your needs exactly.

    Fill this in and we could recommend some parts for you.

    1. What is your budget? [€xxx]

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? [Gaming/Video editing/3D Modelling/HTPC/Internet] (If gaming include which games)

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? [Yes/No]

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? [Hard drive/DVD Drive/Case/PSU/etc.] (If possible state brand and model of the parts to ensure compatibility)

    5. Do you need a monitor? [Yes/No]

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. [19'/20'/22'/24'/etc.]

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? [1920x1080/1440x900/etc.] [Yes/No]

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? [Keyboard/Mouse/Wireless Card/Card Reader/Speakers/etc.]

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes/No]

    8. How can you pay? [Bank Transfer/Credit Card/Laser]

    9. When are you purchasing? [In x days]

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? [South Dublin City/Cork City/Kerry/etc.]

    The graphics card is a GT620 which is rubbish.

    Not really that surprising, it's a small form factor PC not designed for upgrading. 220W is enough for what it has.

    The PC can be built for you for an extra €20 and will work out way better value. Answer the questions for us above and we can help you get the best value out of your money.
