I know a lot about technicalities, but I don't buy or sell a lot of computers, so I'd not be able to tell you if it's a good price or not mate. Soz and all that.A was after genuine advice man.

It depends how much money I had and it's purpose. I know that sounds like I'm dodging, but I'm not really.
For general use, no games i3, 6-8gb ram, integrated graphics
For general use and light games i3-5, 8gb ram, integrated or external graphics with a passmark GPU score above 3000.
For modern games, i5-7 from last 4 generations, 8-16gb ram, something on the passmark GPU score above 8000. 1080p screen
For modern games at very good settings i7 from last 4 generations, 16gb ram, something on the passmark GPU score above 9000-13K. 1080p or 4K screen
I got the second one listed there for £150 second hand on eBay recently. Plays Diablo 3, The Forest, Terraria reasonably on lowish settings.
If I was getting something more powerful, it would be a desktop. That way I'd get a lot more for my money AND some of the parts could be used in my next system, offsetting the cost, so again I could get MOAR!
Add to that AMD's brilliant new CPUs and it's mixed up.
I used the CPU and GPU price/ performance charts here extensively before buying.
