Ye I have standard shipping thanks for the help I understand what I have to do now thank you
Once you've ordered and got approval from the finance then just wait (and it will seem like its taking forever)
But one thing I will say though, if you haven't had any advice on the spec, please do so before actually ordering as you may end up changing things based on advice - as we have some very clever people here who can advise on the spec.

But what's it being used for?

For most uses, it will perform badly. Poor RAM configuration. Overspending on peripherals given the extremely limited budget. Near total lack of upgradability.

Is there a TV this PC could be used with instead of the monitor? That would save a lot of cash to invest back into the system.

To be brutally honest, it's hard to justify this as being worth buying.

If it's for, say, gaming and homework / light office work, better to buy a PS4 for the gaming and a very cheap laptop or a tablet for the office work.

It might be better to just save a little more up, and get something that will deliver much better bang for buck and be more satisfying to use.

Tbh with this budget a console is probably the way to go to be honest.

The spec above won't perform well, and spending a year's worth of savings on something that won't be satisfactory doesn't seem like the best play

I get the feeling you're going to buy this anyway, but I have to try:

- the case is basic at best and will limit future upgrades
- the PSU is low wattage and will limit future upgrades
- you are buying slow, single channel RAM for a CPU that benefits from fast RAM in dual channel.
- you are buying a relatively slow HDD, that is also quite small as HDDs go.
- the motherboard is basic and will limit future upgrades

All of this will hurt performance, lead to an unsatisfactory experience for the person using the PC, and cost more in the long run as you find you 1) want to upgrade it much sooner and b) find you need to upgrade some of the cheap stuff you buy just so you can do the upgrades you actually want to.

You're spending quite a bit of money on peripherals, which won't really give any competitive advantage because of the very budget monitor.

A console will do the same job for half the price or less. Why is there "no point in a console"?

What you are buying is basically a console. i.e. a budget gaming platform that you can't upgrade. Except you're paying £650 for it instead of, what, £300 including the monitor.

What is the budget / price of that ?

And DO NOT buy that; you have gone from a weak CPU to an utterly atrocious CPU
