Value for money questions usually should include how much it costs..

Additionally, what games are you wanting to play and are you looking for max fps at max resolution..?
 
That remains the biggest question - What games do you play with what resolution. I personally think 8 GB RAM not enough.

  • Skyrim Special Edition .
  • Battlefield 4
  • Kingdom Come Deliverance
  • Rising Storm Vietnam
  • And maybe some more Newer games if the system can hold up

Got a link to whoever sells this?

For starters the one year warranty concerns me?

Okay.. do the following, in my opinion.. wait for ryzen 3.. while waiting, save some more cash to upgrade your monitor as well..

thanks for your opinion,
i like the monitor. ill stick with it for now. I don't even know what "Ryzen 3" is.

so based on the games i want to play, at the resolution i want to play at, will the system I have put forward - be able to do it?

Look, you may like the monitor you have but, you will be wasting the potential of any new PC you buy with that monitor..

Ryzen 3 is AMD's latest gen CPUs and when it launches, the current gen stuff should fall in price and you could bag a very good PC capable of running games at 1080p for good money..
 
Not really at that price. Wootware, Evetech, rebeltech will probably come in a bit cheaper .
Also that pc will handle 1080p without a problem.
