Low end gaming PC

Hi, so I've been trying to build something good to replace a broken down PC.

I found this on pcworld: [Link removed - but the details are :i5-4460 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 3 TB HDD (5400rpm), WiFi, PSU: 220W]
and when I try to replicate it on PCspecialist with a nicer/better airflow case it ends up way over £500.
I have a GPU at home, am I better off going for the PCworld deal? :( I'd prefer to stay loyal to PCS but without being able to match the price I'm in a pickle.

I'd just need to replace the 220W PSU with the one from my old PC to handle a GPU.

Usually most out of the box builds from HP/ ACER / Fujistu / Lenovo come with proprietary PSU connector... so you may not be able to simply swap the PSU in such PC. They all used to come with the usual connector, but they don't do that anymore - it's the connector on the mobo I am referring to. Do double check... but it's nightmare since you cannot open the box at currys, and people there have no clue...
