So I'm in the market for a new computer system. Looking to get something around the £500 price tag or less that handles web browsing, media playback and the odd PC game here and there. So far after shopping around a bit I've sort of settled on this Zoostorm PC which seems good enough for what I want and at a reasonable price too.
 
Considering placing an order for it sometime this weekend but figured it may be a good idea to get some feedback on it from our resident PC literate users. So what do folks think, is it worth buying for someone looking for an above average PC that handles media and light gaming?
 
All feedback appreciated :)

That will do more then what you're asking of it. I'd say that you could find cheaper, but then I don't know what the pricing model for PC's are in the market across the pond.

It's shiny and new, Better than mine, so I say all good, 
 
I expect the PC defence force will turn up and parade their knowledge telling you what to get, 
So, yeah, I know sweet FA about PC's other than if you delete system files the PC crashes, Wont be doing that again... 

Like Driadon said, that looks like it's got the potential to do more then you're probably asking for (depending on what games you have in mind). I do like it though, my only beef with it is the fact that it's a quad-core. Personally I'd prefer a dual core but that's just me. Price wise, it's not bad. I'd get it anyway.

The GTS250 will run any game you throw at it fine.

That should be able to play most games on medium settings.

Have you tried building a PC on Newegg at all? 
 
Nonetheless, that computer is just fine.  I would just be weary of proprietary systems.

Hm, I'm going to ask a question here to save making my own thread. I've got £1,000 to spend on a PC - I know nothing about PCs, thus I intend to get a pre-built. What would be a good one to get?  
 
(The PC's going to be for vidyagames of course).

Well it seems the consensus is that the system will do what I want it to do and much more which is great news. I was somewhat worried I may have picked a slightly sub-par system to begin with as having used the same computer I built by hand for six years now, I'm out the loop with what is simply word processing grade and media/gaming grade.
 
For those that may have been wondering why I'd go for pre-built over custom built well honestly as I said the last computer I built myself was six years ago, I don't have that same drive and enthusiasm to do it again and I don't really trust myself to do it correctly having not done it in so long.
 
@Hitchenson: You could look into purchasing the one I've linked in my original post of this topic. It seems people feel it'll do the job required of a gaming PC and seeing as it costs less than half the budget you have, you could use the rest to splash out on games or peripherals? Not sure but hopefully people can help you out in this topic, feel free to hijack it! :)

YES 
 
and if you wanna do some intense gaming you can upgrade your GPU and you're good to go!

Take a look at this:  http://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/system/mega_sales_II/  Same price, better memory, better processor, better power supply, better case, better mobo for future upgrades (LGA 1156 platform for next gen i5's, also SLI and Crossfire). From a trusted brand as well.  "

That is a pretty tempting system that I'd definitely consider buying if I weren't sticking strictly to a £500 budget like I am. By the time I added a Win7 OS the price inc. VAT rockets up to almost £600 which is quite a bit more than I'm willing to pay right now. Although I must say thanks for brining CyberPowerSystems to my attention, hadn't come across them before :)  "
