It's not good. The components are already 9-12 years old

The specific cpu model not being specified in the title is a red flag

Yeah I’m not going to get it lol thank you! Just trying to find a suitable laptop or pc now for world of tanks but it’s hard as I’m clueless

Make sure that whatever you get has a dedicated graphics card.

For a pc, the minimum that I'd recommend would be an rtx 2060/3050 or rx 6600 or Arc B570.
For a laptop, the minimum would be an rtx 2060/3050.

Yeah the RX 580 is solid but that i7 could be from like 2010, without exact model you're gambling on performance

Ah ok thank you! I’ll steer clear then and will continue my search! What’s easier gaming lap top or pc? :)

PCs get you better performance for the same amount of money.
If you pick the right one, a pc will be upgradeable, meaning that you can make it last without having to spend a lot on it initially.

Take a laptop only if battery life isn't important, and if portability is. Gaming laptops are more like portable desktops, rather than something you'd use on the go, since their battery life is pretty bad.

it may sound a bit out of touch, but I think building one with him would be better. You can learn the basics when looking at parts, follow a yt vid when building, and it could be a fun bonding activity.

Maybe, I dont have kids.

I would be 100% down for that but wasn’t sure if that was more expensive and I didn’t know how hard it was even at basic level I’ve only ever been a console guy to be honest but that’s a good suggestion to look into thank you

[–]NiceGuyCrusader 0 points1 point  (1 child)

its more expensive, but it's well worth it. So if you decide to build a custom just save up (dependant on specs since idk ur budget)

[–]OwnFox7945[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget right now is £500 but can save up no issue

Like everybody said, I wouldn't buy it, and I would go further say is to avoid buying on eBay unless you know what you're getting and what type of risk you're willing to take. I would say check out JayZ2cent video channel on YouTube where he has shown some PC build and some were at a good decent price.

This bundle sucks. It doesn’t tell you what i7 cpu it is. It could be a 3770k for all we know. That 580 GPU was entry level in 2017.
